Thread Starter 
I just bought a dalbello el morro and wanted to see how the liners are baked. should they come out of the shell to bake or stay in the shell and baked? what is the advised temp for the oven? should the foot beds remain in the boot while getting baked?
I just want these questions answered before i take them in to get fitted.

I would appreciate your guidance.

These don't get baked, they are an inside heated liner. The "search" feature is your friend.

Spelling Il Moro right might help with the search.

ok, that means what in street terms? the local shop says that the liners need to be baked at 220' for 15 minutes. is that not correct?
I haven't had a chance to call dalbello directly to find out but would appreciate any guidance.

worked great for me. i didn't think the oven was hot enough; you may want to try 220 like your shop told you. i thought letting them cool off with the skis on was a great idea. i have a much better heel pocket because of it.

i couldn't do the foot bed in the sock thing; i didn't have cloth tape and when i put the foot in with the foot bed in my sock the foot bed slid down past my heel and had to do it over with the foot bed in the boot.

all in all, great instructions.

here's the deal:
I took the boots in to get them fitted today.
the tech guy heated the boots with the liners in them for about 14 minutes with a lange boot heater. then he took the liner out and baked it in an oven for another 15 minutes with the original footbeds in it.
he used toe caps with ultra thin socks on my feet. he then inserted the liner in the boot with my footbed, I put on the boots for 10 minutes while standing and walking.
I then took out the toe caps and socks and put on my own socks and put the boots back on.
what a shweeeeet feeling it is!! love this liner and can't wait to use it next week in utah.

hope this gives some clarity to the liner issue.

The walking around may be alright, but if they are too loose, try baking them again and not walking around. Just move your feet in a skiing motion (tipping ski slightly) with your skis on.

I have knock knees where when I bend at my knees with my feet straight my knees can hit. When I molded these liners, in a crouching position, I placed my fist in between my knees. It didn't do a lot, but it did sortof canted the liners. If I had to guess, just 1 or 1.5 degree; nothing significant.
