100% Custom Moldable
That's right, all you have to do is buy your ThirtyTwo boots from an authorized dealer and ask for a custom mold. It only takes about 15 minutes, it's painless and super easy.
- First, you'll have to take off your shoes and socks. Bare feet, please.
- Put your ThirtyTwo boots on the Heat Stack for 10 minutes.
- As the liners are being cooked, you'll have plenty of time to size up toe caps. S, M, L or XL. Pick one that fits snuggly around the toes of your foot.
- Once you have the right size toe cap, get a set of nylons and pull them over top of the toe cap and foot.
- Now the liners should be done cooking, so pull them off the Heat Stack and slide your foot into both ThirtyTwo boots. Be careful, they might be a little hot.
- Lace the boots snuggly and stand up. Stand still for 10 minutes so the liners have time to cool to your exact foot print. Remember, don't over-tighten boots, and stand still. No walking or jumping around.
- Take your ThirtyTwo boots to the cash register and pay the man. Don't forget to pick up a pair of ThirtyTwo socks that are made for snowboarding. Yes, that's right, made for snowboarding! They wick moisture away from you feet so your toes don't go numb on the below-zero day of shredding.
- Now get out there and ride! Your feet will thank you!
Key Notes
- Your authorized dealer will have all this information, so don't worry, you don't have to take a quiz or anything to get a custom fit with your ThirtyTwo boots.
- Don't try this at home! It won't work! Way too many kids put their ThirtyTwo liners in a regular home oven and seriously cook them. Don't do that. It will bake your liners as hard as rocks. Again, DON'T TRY THIS AT HOME!
- Yes, it's a simple process, but go to an authorized ThirtyTwo dealer and have them molded by a professional.

Every pair of 32 boots I've bought, I've molded.
6 years agoSuch a good fit!
32 for life.
They should have a link on here that allows one to find authorized dealers...no?
6 years agoI used my boots all winter working at Sunshine Village as a lifty and they were amazing all year long.
6 years agoI' ll always ride 32.
yeeaaahhh!
Cook,
Thanks bro.. Shoulda seen that one myself...now I feel kinda stupid.

6 years agoHow do you find a shop that does this? Some shops I've talked to have the heat stack but nobody seems to know about toe caps.
6 years agoIf they know about the heat mold then they should have toe caps? Call a couple different shops.
6 years agoI don't get it either but I've asked at a couple of shops and nobody seems to know what I'm talking about.
6 years agoJulia,
What area do you live in?
6 years agoI'll find one and let you know.
hey all...just grabbed a pair of last years Forecast...NICE boots...problem is, I got a 9, thinking that like most boot companies y'all just used a shim between a 9 and 9.5. After trying them on (failed) I see that I was likely WRONG. True? 9 and 9.5 are two entirely different shells and liners?
should be able to get a 9.5 if necessary, and am also interested in a shop that does proper fitting. Seems odd that they wouldnt know what the toe caps were!
6 years agoSo last years Prions are okay for fitting?
6 years agoHell yeah! Less than a month to go before we're riding the steeps!
6 years agoI live Michigan i don't get to snowboard up here for another 2 months. It sucks, but i am pretty good. I like Rails so me and my friends got a truck and got the Ice they put behind ice rinks and set up a rail at my friends house i am snowboard on that it is sweet.
6 years agoYO! ive got last years lashed and they are like little pillows for your feet that you can ride in all day long. 32 4 life!!! Lets hope for a nice dump of powder this year for Alberta and B.C. 1 month till we get to shred the gnar!! See ya on the slopes
6 years agoLate
hey am I able to get my 04 tm-2's molded with the heat molder at my local shop?
6 years agohi,i'm french and i'm comming from "les hautes alpes",near gap;well,if you want really good boots you should take the tm 2!!!!the bests i ever ride, have a good season bro's!!!!! xris
6 years agowhy dont people just use hair dryers, then slip your foot in them while theyre hot, go ride, come back, MOLDED.
6 years agoanybody know a site thats got all/most of the thirty two outerwear?
6 years agoKevin,
I think it could be because it's possible to overheat the liner and have it become real hard and unmoldable. I'm pretty sure that anyone with at least half a brain could do it with a hair dryer, though. Just so you know about the overheating though...
6 years agoDoes anybody know, where Ride Snowboards is from? US or Canada?
6 years agoNick ,
6 years agothat could possibly be the smartest thing anyone on this comment page has said yet.
Props
Hey Keely,
6 years agoThanks a lot mayn. Appreciate the compliment, my friend.
It's going to be a shredderific season!
(now I just went and said that and shot myself in the foot)
Peace.
what are the toe caps made of? what do they look like?
6 years agohey guys,anybody knows thirtytwo companys phone number???,cuz cant get it here,so please help,i need it as soon as possible!!!!
6 years agonick, my child, the props were thrown at me...not you. I was the one with the hairdryer idea. So don't try and take my credit. Bitch Slap
6 years agobut anyways, does anyone know what bindings go good with 32's
6 years agoHey,
I'm surpised that none of the shops that I've asked seem to know nothing about the molding.
Anyhow, I bought a pair from one of these places.
Could you give me a place in/near Edmonton, Alberta, Canada that molds the boots.
6 years agoIs there any way you can mold your boots without having to do it in the shop?.. baught my new 32's but i forgot to mold them in.. wondering if i can homemold them..
6 years agoMy local shop said that the boots mold to your foot after about 3 days of riding. So, don't trip out. They don't even need to mold. Theyre already comfy as is.
6 years agooh goodcall yeah i figured theyre pretty comfy didnt think they could get much better. thanks
6 years agoKeely, how do you figure?
The message is made out to me, not you. It's not like I really care, but you can't fault me for responding to a message that starts with: Nick,
Late.
6 years agoYo! Juss chillin in leavin a comment on a pair of Lashed I got last week, bought and molded at Swedens PHATest snow/skate store and man, they're juss plain awesome. Halla! //js
6 years agonaw bro, its to me. if you look at the other comments i was the one with the hairdryer thing not you. keely is gay cause he thought it was your idea. i have no idea why i give a shit, im bored, i just got the new prospect, waiting for my rome 390's to ship in. lator gator
6 years agoTHE SOURCE IN EDMONTON WILL HOOK CUSTOM MOLDS FOR ALL.
6 years agoyo kevin, drakes work sick with 32's that's what i rock and it is a phenom setup. all comfy and stuff
6 years agoWhich pair of 32 would you all recommend for a low to mid intermediate rider?
6 years agomont- id recommend either the prion or prospect. maybe the lashed if your good enough, cause it looks stupid when people have kick ass gear, but no skill. peace
6 years agoI wore my new 305's at Baker's opening day Tuesday. Biggest pow opener in 25 years. 90" base up top. It was marvelous. I put blue superfeet in my 305's and the soles of my feet were killing me all day long. Advil didn't help. Is the arch support in the 305's adequate making superfeet unnecessary?
6 years agoKevin
6 years agoThanks alot. Makes good sense. The prospect is cool looking. (The Lashed is killer though.)
Monty, my boy-
6 years agoYes, the lashed is sick, but when i went to my local shop, i tried the prospect on, and the lashed. There wasn't much difference at all. The lashed was just a tiny bit stiffer, maybe looked somewhat cooler, but i ended up getting the prospect. Riding wise- the lashed wont get you any better than the prospect. Go ahead and spend more money on a boot thats practically the same riding.
peace
hey, i have last years 32 lashed. i rode on them all last year, and never baked them, but my right foot hurts every time, is it to late to bake them? also, no one where i live will do it for under $50, whats the best way to do it at home?

6 years agoShane,
6 years agoI paid 149.00 for my Prospects.
hey, i just got a pair of 32 boots and need new bindings for this year... any suggestions...burton...what?
6 years agoshawn, it depends on what kind of riding you do and what kind of feel you're going for. As for burtons, they are light and, starting this year, all baseplates from burton are under warranty for life. I'd say just go into a store, bring your boots with you, and actually strap the bindings to your foot (granted, they are customizable, so keep that in mind) and just ask a knowledgeable salesperson. If there are none, write back on here with your riding style and I'll give some advice. I personally have Burton El Habano Cartels from 04-05.
6 years agoTired on the Lashed and the Piron about a $60 CAD diffence in price. Both fit good. What would be better for a intermediate rider on the verg of becoming advanced?
Secondly....sales gy told me that I didn't need to get them molded because they would form to my feet on their own...is he talking smack ?
6 years agoI just got my first pair of thirtytwo's (prospects) and had them molded....They are the best fitting and most comfortable boots i have ever riden, I could even wear them as regular shoes they are that great. Ill forever rock thirtytwo's.
Keep up the killer work guys!
6 years agoDoes anyone know how to get in touch with customer service at 32?
6 years agoI've tried the store finder thing twice but it didn't work either time, so does anyone know of any dealers near Kingston, Ontario or even as far up as Ottawa?
Thanks in Advance
6 years agoTo all who don't have a shop to mold at (I work at one and any shop that got stacks shoulda got the rubbery toecaps and socks with it, if they don't, I wouldn't dream of molding there).... You can just ride and the heat of your feet riding for a day will mold your boots. I mean, it's cool for them to feel perfect before you go, but if you're in a jam, just ride 'em. The heat from your feet all day in the boots will be enough to mold them. And yes, you can usually go down a size when you mold them. It also eliminates heel lift like crazy.
6 years agoKalen-
6 years agoYou can bake your boots whenever. And no shop should be charging you to bake them. There isn't a recommended home way cause you can overbake them and kill them.
I wonna know more about 32!
6 years agoHome molding - get off your ace and go to a shop to do it proper, or dont do it at all.
Toe Caps - are neoprene in most cases (same ones are used for Tele and AT boots). You can also make your own by cutting the toe box off of heavy wool socks. Just cut from the met's back and you are in like the butchers dog.
Superfeet - yes, needed. All boots, from all companies at all prices use generic craptastic footbeds. Superfeet and others give your feet support, balance and strength. Reduce pressure spots (re-align your bone structure) and therefore also increase warmth. If you spend a few hun on the boot, finish it off with 30 for a footbed. Oh, and they hurt a bit at first cause your arch isnt used to it.. Unless you wear them in all your footwear - each time you step into riding gear is an adjustment.
Just my highly educated $0.02

Hey, this isnt about the custom molding or anyhting but I didnt know where to go on and ask anyone about it but I bought my boots last year and they are the womens black and blue "Lashed" boots and whenever I wear them my calf muscles become SOOO sore (almost like cramped up feeling) cuz they bend them sooo far forward I only went a couple times last year so I just wanted to know if anyone else had this problem and if it went away or what? I thought these boots were supposed to be the best and insanely comfortable. I spent alot of money on boots that make my calves insanely sore.
6 years agois it possible to just buy the liners? i have the Lashed from a few years back and it did not come with molddable liners. anyone know where i can get the level 4 or any other 32 liners? thanks.
6 years agoHi,
Is there anybody with hard facts thaqt the boots will mold properly if they are not pre-molded? And will they mold?
If not, the shop where I bought the boots are still waiting for the cooking apparatus, so is there a way to do it properly at home? Being hair-dryer is there an sign when they havew been heated enough? Or are we suppoised to put them in the oven what temps for how long? And why do we need to put a cap on the toes?
Thank you very much
6 years agoI hate my keyboard arghhhh
6 years agoprolly too lazy to get em molded, gonna ride it out n bake the thing
ne ways u guys know why u need toe caps? does it attach to the boots or u just using em cuz its too hot?
6 years agowhat is the purpose of the toe caps in the molding process? are there any shops in the park city utah area that have the heaters etc. for custom molding?
6 years agoAlisha,
I tried on the 305's yesterday after they heated them for 5 minutes to help me get my foot in. My calf muscles also hurt. It felt like someone was squeezing my calf and I was concerned that after about 30 minutes my calf muscle would hurt too much to ride.
Anyone!! can someone comment about the calf muscle tightness and what to expect over time?
6 years agochris and alisha,
you need to stretch the area and around that hurts. give it a massage too. loosen things up. and dont forget to stretch the ankles.
6 years agoJust got a pair of 32 Lashed! Best boots ever! 32 kicks-a**!
5 years agoProb a dumb question, i dont have time 2 look, but my boots r shot. 3 good years. i need new 32's but cant find my size. i require 13's for my optimum performance. i know its summer, but i have alot of money saved for boots. i found alot of sick all terrain boots that i would be willing to order, but none of them have size 13 available. i wanted to do an adavance order over the phone, but i need a number. any suggestions?
5 years agoI just brought a pair of 32 lashed off ebay size 13, still waiting for delivery to the UK though. And then i need to find somewhere that will do all the heat moulding business which might be a bit tricky. Does anyone know if 32 retailers will do the moulding for free if i hevent brought the boots from there??
5 years agoMatt
Has anyone experienced heel lift because of heat molding the boot? Mine fitted snugly until i heat molded the boots. Heel lift increased a lot.
Any way to correct this?
thanks
4 years agocan i mold my boots for the second time cause they loosend up quite bad ?
4 years agoDoes anyone know the number for warranties for 32? I have tried emailing them several times, and have yet to get a response. The prions I bought for my girlfriend are falling apart and she has only worn them five or six times.
4 years agoI have just bought size 9 Uk - 32 Lashed boots and some Flow NXT-AT (large) Binding, got them home and attached to board and tried to dial them in to the best fit but it seems i always get a slight rub against the boot heal or the boot heal stopping the high back being pulled up to lock in. Does this mean the boots not compatible or should i spend more time on them and hopefully find settings that work?
Don't want to cause damage to the binding or boot over time with the rubbing, and I can imagine on the mountain with snow in tread of boot and on binding this will compound the problem.
I have tried moving the highback backwards/forwards, loosening the powerstrap ratchets to allow my boot to slide in easier and get the toe fully in the binding but then i feel the powerstrap isn't holding the boot firmly after that.
Don't know if anyone has any others ideas or knows that they are not compatible.
4 years agoTo Nick, Kevin, and Keely
Get some skis punks. Just cause y'all think you can ride (and are extremely insecure) doesn't mean you have to exhibit the same typical "bad-ass" attitude so prevelent in our sport. Life isn't about "props". Also, it's okay if Keely's a homosexual, you don't have to be a homophobe Kevin.
Love, Zach (mile high city)
3 years agoCan you put Superfeet in this years (07/08) Lashed boot? I've noticed there aren't any removable footbeds to begin with. BTW this is my 1st season riding 32 Boots and I absolutely love them...RIP Burton
