Got the £125 ones, and so far they have set ok i think. They seem to fit my flipper feet (ive tried northwave and although i can live with them they are still to narrow for me)

er, excuse my ignorance, but why do you need to bake them?

You have your shoes in the oven.
It's the end of civilisation I tell you.

They mold to your feet.

Stick them in at 70 for 20 mins, take them out and stick your feet in and they "mold" to your shape.

Put a couple of lemons in them and twenty minutes later - baked lemon sole.

70 sounds quite warm! Is this celsius or fahrenheit?

Can I do this to my 2nd hand (though virtually unworn) Bontrager race roads? Wish I'd seen this thread earlier, my wife's on her way home...

Edit: I see it's BONT, not Bontrager. Prolly not then. Ignore me.

I didn't get them due to thinking that if you got it wrong you've ruined the shoes but after talking to a friend who's got some he told me you can simply put them back in the oven and re-do them
