*To mold your CadoMotus carbon boots (PRO):

CadoMotus PRO boots are built using new moldable materials technologies, not the heat-moldable sheet traditionally inserted into speed boots. This moldability is active at a higher temperature than traditional material - which helps CadoMotus boots take on the shape you want, and keep it.

Because of the higher temperature involved (100-degrees Celsius to activate the material), CadoMotus does NOT recommend using an oven for molding.

  1. Attach frames properly to the boots
  2. Remove wheels (to allow a steady, still position when you stand in the boots later)
  3. Unstrap microbuckle and loosen laces (to allow the boots to be opened easily)
  4. Using a heat-gun (paint stripper heated-air gun), heat the moldable ankle areas from the outside - keeping the gun's air outlet at least 15cm away from the boot surface, and using a slow, circular motion to distribute the heat evenly
  5. Every 1-2 minutes - Wearing gloves, or with a cloth between your hands and the boot, check the progressing softness of the moldable areas. This can take some time, as around 100-degrees C is required to activate the material.
  6. When the moldable areas can be squeezed by the hand, switch off the heat-gun and allow the boot surfaces to cool for at least 1 minute
  7. Wearing socks (to protect skin from any hot surfaces), fit the boots and begin tightening the laces - not the microbuckle yet to avoid excessive pressure
  8. Stand in the boots and remain in your natural skating position, as best as possible
  9. ** Dealers, at this point may choose to apply vacuum-bags to the skates for an improved fit
  10. Areas around the ankle that require further forming can be pushed hard
  11. As the boots begin to cool you can tighten the laces progressively further if required
  12. Remain in the boots until they have cooled completely, to avoid any partial reversal of the forming
