the 08 kai's are, i think the 09s are not. LEAVE THE LINERS IN THE BOOT. Ronix boots are not meant to have the liner taken out. as far as the pros and cons go it depends on how you fit in the boot. if it is slightly big fit, you actually gain 'cushy-ness' because the liner will expand and have marshmallow-like consistency. if its a smaller fit on you, the liner will condense a bit and you do lose a SMALL AMT of 'cush', but you gain support and response. if the boot fits perfectly (not tight or loose) then molding will not create negative results. Overall, it relieves pressure points (not that there are many to begin with) and fills in dead space creating a more efficient and comfortable fit. There is no real cons that are of any significance, some people just like how they fit before molding that they never actually do it.
