I suggest you should probably go and get your foot fitted. you might find out that full tilts aren't for you.
 
It's not just the last (width) of the boot that matters thing such as your instep, pronation and general shape of your foot all contribute to whether or not a boot will fit.

So while you may find the width of the boot the be fine other factors such as the overall volume of the boot may mean the boot will not fit.

For example the width of SPK 100 are perfect for me (104mm) but because the boot has a low instep and I have a high instep they don't fit me at all and hurt like hell because the top buckle puts a huge amount of pressure of my saddle bone.

Hi newschoolers,my feet are 100 mm wide. I was wondering if 99 mm ski boot is too small for me?

Thanks :)

What size are you. Full tilt are 99 mm in the 26 shell. So unless you are a 26 so really a 25 because of full tilts weird sizing knowing the width of your foot does not really help. Also is that the width weighted or unweighted? This will make a difference too. If you 100mm when stood when you surport that foot with a footbed it may well go down as much as 5-10mm. Also for foot width is only one factor. We do a 5 point shell check and forefoot is only one of those a checks.

So as was said above just go get fitted up you will thank yourself when you don't have sore feet.

Ski boots sizing are in cm, so a 26 in FT is the same as every other brand. I had a 27 in FT when I really am a 26, and they were in fact too big, because my toes were never touching the end of the boot and I had toe bangs all the time. I now wear 26s and everything is fine.

To OP, go to a bootfitter as everyone said. If your foot really is 100mm some FT will probably fit you, but I'd consider trying the boots the guy at the shop has to offer you

Not quite. You are correct that boots use a mondo sizing system which uses cm sizes but that does not mean all 26 boots are te same. For example the BSL of an spk in 26 is 307mm whereas a 26 drop kick will be 300mm so over half a size smaller even though it's still a 26.

Its for this reason we shell check to work out size. But my point was more it's only really relevant to know your width if you are a 26 as that is the size which te last is given for. Every size bigger will be around 2 mm wider. So unless you know the width and length of your foot both weighted and unweighted just let the fitter select the best size for you.

I was using a 26 this season but halfway through my toes were really sore and it turned out they were too small and so I got a 27

Which type of footbed were you using? Often toe issues will be from a boot which is actually too big. In a boot which is too big the foot is not held securely so if you land backseat you end up sliding forward and hurt your toes. Upsizing may help but you may find it actually gets worse. Getting the correct size boot is one of the biggest factors in getting a good boot So having a fitter at least size you up and shell check you is a must.
 
If my calculations are correct they will be exactly 1mm too small.

But seriously, try and go to the best ski boot fitters you can, it'll be worth it.

did you change size? Have your feet grown/collapsed? Are you using differnt footbeds? There are so many reasons you may be having problems that the only real wy to know what is wrong is to take them to a fitter an have the fit assese by someone who can see your foot in the shell.
 
All I can say is go to a real (read:Professional) bootfitter like Larry's bootfitting in Boulder. it'll be more expensive initially but in the end will save you pain, agitation and time. A bootfitter is the only person that can pretty much instantly make you a better skier.

I would love to go there but I live in Canada and just don't really want to go to Boulder just to get boots fitted.....
 
Where in Canada are you? I'll be working in whistler again from this summer.

Footbeds are used to fit boots. They align the foot in the boot and allow you to control what your foot does inside the boot. You need them to help bring up your medial arch and stop your foot pronating which is making it wider. Basically you new your boots fitting
