Hello there,
First thread here, sorry if its in the wrong section.
So I bought the new Atomic Hawx Ultra XTD 130, upgrading from my Black Diamond Method 110. Feels good.
I bough the boots online figuring I'd mold it at home. I've done that before and it wasen't a hard thing to do. I found joy in customizing the boot myself and learning some bootfitting.
Upon figuring out the Mimic liner requiers some additional tools, I called the sports store to hear what they charge to heat it up and mold it. A minimum of 110 dollars they say.
I bought the shoes online to save money, dont have a ton of it, spending 110 dollars of this is a last option. I hope you guys can help me out with the following questions.
1. Does anyone know the temperature that should be inside the ovn?
2. This Mimic-sock that is placed on the outside of liner; is the function of it to compress the liner around the foot to create a good/better shaping of the foot in the liner? If yes, can I use "any" sock?
3. I see they are using a shoe spoon in the atomic video. Im guessing any long, wide shoe spoon will do the job, and that the fuction is to make things slide easier to make less "wrinkles" in the liner. Or?
Thats the questions I can think of that needs answering before Ill try and DIY it. Any other information and things to think about is gratefully appreciated.
Sorry if my Enligsh is a bit troubling to understand, Norwegian here.
Cheers,
Paul
