Vantages - heat moulding

Noticed in the thread further down someone mentioned heat moulding vantages... I only just realised that they need heat moulding! I haven't ridden them yet, but planning on taking them out on thursday... the bindings are at my parents atm, so I can't recheck the box to see if i missed those instructions, could someone post up how you're supposed to do it please? I had a quick look on the LF website and couldn't see any details...

Thanks!

They don't have to be heat molded, but I remember reading that wearing them in a hot bath does the trick.

The hot bath works, or you could take it to a shop to have them heat molded. I haven't heat molded mine and they feel fine. But I probably will do it eventually.

Mine were fine from the get..............

No heat molding here.

Ya mine were fine too, a little tight on my right pinky toe. Thats the only reason i might heat mold. Dang pinky toes... who needs em

Is there any reason why I shouldn't heat mold them?

They feel nice now, but surely heat molding them they will feel even nicer?

If you heat mold them, there's a chance they might spontaneously combust! JK

No reason not to... I'm just too lazy to do it.
