Has anyone tried this yet? Any advice? Or warnings?
I picked up a pair of tlt6p's on sale last spring and after a few days on them i'm convinced I need a bit more volume over the arch and in the toes and maybe a bit of room around my ankle bones for long tours.
They are the green grilamid version and a shell mold sounds like it would be perfect. I've done liners before a few times with good success and have a jenn air convection oven and an inferred thermometer to check temperatures so I think it should be doable. I also live a long ways from a good bootfitter.
The instructions posted in the "vulcan fit issue" thread here and one of the wildsnow backland blog posts say pad problem areas, heat at 240f for 12-14minutes, use a plastic bag (and maybe silicone spray?) to aid foot insertion, buckle tightly and stand on a hard flat surface for 15 minutes with a level stance to cool.
My oven isn't quite tall enough to fit a boot with liner vertically so my one debate is if I should heat the shells laying on their side with the liners in or heat the shells without the liner but either way would probably work unless I'm missing something.
