Are my boots too big?

Just saw a skis.com article about how your boots should fit. I have 28.5s. When I put my foot into my shell there is an inch gap at the back if I push my foot into the front of the shell. Also, just wearing the liner there is a gap between my toes and the front of the liner.
 
Personally I should be riding a 27.5 (according to them foot measuring things you find at ski shops) but I ride a 26.5 it has more of a snug feel personally, they’re super broken in so that most certainly has something to do with it
 
I'm an 8 in vans....was fitted by a booter for some 25.5's and now am planning on rocking a 24.5s this season

then you should be in a pretty narrow 24.5 or 25.5 your borderline, so a small 24.5 might need some toe work, a larger might fit perfect, a 25.5 should be comfy fit, 28.5 will just make everything horrrrrrrible.
 
most likely but as long as they don’t give you problems it should be fine, i wear a 13 shoe but a 28.5 ski boot
 
Dude, if you have an inch space behind your heel your boots are too big. What size shoe do you typically wear?

Bro I know go see a bootfitter is the most common thing people say. I wear a 25.5 and measure out to a 27. After being in the industry for a while I can promise you, unless someone sees the proportions of your foot the advice could be very hit or miss.

There’s some people with real tender feet out there and until you’ve clamped into a shell that fits you like a glove you won’t understand what a performance boot feels like (it’s unfamiliar, unless you are a serious ice skater/Hockey player). A lot of the times modifications will need to be made to ensure both performance and tolerability.

I will guarantee you make the best turns of your life in a properly fit boot. So either scour the internet for what is most likely generic/bad advice. Or take the time to seek a professional and find a boot that works. Walk and walk fast if they don’t offer any sort of guarantee.
