Overview
Standard Comfort Liners feature extra padding around the ankle for a supportive, comfortable fit. The liners use a blend of materials that become moldable when heated and return to their supportive shape as they cool.
This allows you to customize the fit around your individual feet, creating a more personalized skating experience.
What You’ll Need
- Standard Comfort Liners, removed from your Omni boots
- An oven capable of reaching 170°F (75°C)
- A baking sheet
- Your Omni boots, ready for fitting
Step-by-Step Instructions
Preheat Your Oven
Set your oven to 170°F (75°C).
Set your oven to 170°F (75°C). Do not use a higher temperature.
Remove Your Comfort Liners
Take both Comfort Liners completely out of your Omni boots.
Only the removable liners should be heated. Never place the plastic boot shells in the oven.
Prepare the Liners
Place both Comfort Liners on a baking sheet.
Make sure they are positioned securely and are not touching any heating elements.
Turn Off the Oven
Once your oven reaches the target temperature, turn it off.
Place the baking sheet with your liners on the bottom rack.
Heat the Liners
Leave the liners inside the turned-off oven for 15 minutes to activate the moldable material.
Reinstall the Liners
Carefully remove the baking sheet from the oven.
Place the warm liners back into your Omni boots.
Mold the Liners to Your Feet
Put your Omni boots on and fasten the laces and buckles as you normally would.
Sit comfortably for 20 minutes while the liners cool and conform to the shape of your feet and ankles.
Once cooled, your Comfort Liners should provide a more personalized fit.
Important Notes
- Never heat mold your plastic skate shells. The Omni boot material cannot withstand high temperatures.
- Always remove the Comfort Liners from your boots before heat molding.
- Only heat mold Standard Comfort Liners that are designed for this process.
- Handle the liners carefully after heating, as they may be hot.
- Allow the liners to cool completely before skating.
