Danger, don’t do this!

We have seen much less heat melt these vacuum fit boots!

 

[Pat AKA mustski]

WHY would someone do that????

 

[nesneros]

No idea, but after about 20 minutes the guy came by and immediately strapped them on. I thought maybe a buckle might pull out of the plastic, no indication of trouble. Maybe eh thought he could re-form them

 

[AmyPJ]

Oh, I can raise the bar on that, just need to dig up the picture. Guy put his brand new Lange RS (I believe) INSIDE the fire screen while he ate lunch!

You still believe people in general do things wisely, with forethought?

 

[Ogg]

I melted the plastic on the tongue of my old zipfits by leaving them next to an electric baseboard in our ski condo in VT. I was used to hydronic heat which doesn’t get that hot.

I use the dryer to warm my boots.

I don’t blame him. Have you ever tried to get a pair of those on when they’ve cold.

But he took them off at lunch
I am still trying to find the picture.
But yes, my Rossi ZJ are a bit stiff at the end of the day, too.

 

[AmyPJ]

Found it.

 

[VickieH]

But @AmyPJ, haven't you ever wanted to do that with a pair of boots -- throw them in the fire and walk away?

 

[nesneros]

I guess when you smell the plastic burning you know your lunch break has gone on long enough

I hope the Nordica Red Racer boot that broke my leg (decades ago) is burning in hell too!

I have. Takes between 45 minutes and an hour.
One of the reasons I do not use stock liners.

I for once am not surprised. If he bought them on a whim, just because he liked the color or something without proper fitting, these can be torture devices. With a proper fit the RS 130 are as close to perfection as it gets but if he had wide feet and bought them based on what a friend told him...no bueno.

They are NOT cheap, either! Boots are not cheap, these are even not cheaper.
