I'm having a similar issue to Brad. My foot doesn't seem to touch the shell without the liner, but I'm getting slight pressure on the outside of my right foot when I use the liner. I'm hesitant to thermo-mold the liner, as I'm thinking of exchanging them for a half size larger. Does the shell break-in at all after time? It's got a lot more give than a plastic shell, but still not sure how much it'll form to a foot. Is this just something I can fix with the thermo-molding given that my foot isn't touching the shell without the liner? Thanks.

If the boot has pressure points, the thermo-molding may help - no guarantees. If your questioning if they are too small - tight even with your socks on, I would go with the larger size and if its a hair to big, cut a piece of a foot bed molding out to take up the space to eliminate wobble. The boot needs to fit snug but not tight as it will not only be un-comfy, but cold.
