Just ordered Spirit 4's in a 24.5 and the shell fit seems right but am wondering about the liners. They are snug with no space between the liner and my toes but they don't feel like they're squeezing my feet. Will heat molding shrink the liner or just contour to my foot? Do I need to exchange for 25's to get the bigger liner? Also, can anyone recommend a bootfitter in SLC area to heat mold these and possibly work on the shells in case I experience some of the fit problems w/Scarpas? I had a pair of Denali's that I sold because by the end of the day I felt like I had been walking on tennis balls. Want a good backcountry boot so I am willing to have these worked on if need be. Thanks for the heip...

The heat molding process will basically form fit the liner to your foot, so I think you are okay keeping the 24.5. In general an unmolded boot should feel very snug, so that once it is molded if fits perfectly. As long as your in the proper shell you will be fine.
