Boot size

[Thisaccountisdea]

I’m currently riding some 26.5 full tilt boots and I treated myself to some full tilt b and e’s but they are size 28.5 since they were the last size available in the store. I’m wondering if I can wear them without getting injured in the park or anywhere else. Any tips or recommendations for my situation?

bro, why.

Cause there weren’t any sizes left anywhere

Any tips or recommendations for my situation?

Tip: don't choose boots based on what looks cool.

You're going to treat yourself to shin bang and sloppy fit. Seriously, WTF kind of question is this?

GET FITTED

BOOTS THAT DONY FIT SUCCCCCK

 

[BigmoneyMatt]

Honestly dude, boots are like 3x more impactful to your skiing then your skis. *(most park skis are similarly constructed and shaped). Having a good fitting boot is number 1 bro, like it just had to be fulltilts for what fucking reason. Other brands make amazing boots, don't be a sheep.

Hopefully ur feet are still growing or ur pretty much fucked.

I bought them because yes my feet are still going to probably grow and because I want them to fit me for a long time. I know it probably wasn’t the best idea but I’m probably just going to wait until I outgrow my boots I’m riding rn

 

[tominiemenmaa]

So that's why all the freeskiers wear at least XXL. They're just being reasonable. Myth = busted.

(On a more serious note; you want your boots to fit as snug as possible from the shelf. You'll want to visit a boot fitter as well. Boots are by far the most important piece of equipment, they can and will make a HUGE difference in your skiing.)

It's okay you'll grow into them, just give it some years.

I made this mistake with my first full tilts I ever bought. They were 27.5 when in reality I was a 26.5. They were fine when I had my Magnus 90s, but when I got my 102s, I noticed a huge lag between initiating movements. I would put them as tight as they would go, and with each day they felt looser. I eventually called it quits and got fitted into some 26.5s and it made a world of difference. Best bet is to sell them since they are still highly sought after.

Since we are all talking about boots, I have a question as well. I have been riding 28.5's for a year with no toe bang or discomfort whatsoever. I am now on the market for some new boots and cannot decide if I should get 28.5's or 27.5's. This is because I've had my foot measured at multiple shops and and always measure 27.5 and I have a bit of wiggle room for my toes in my 28.5's (I heard this is bad). However, I have skied 27.5's and they felt way too tight in the toe area and I hated it, but I also did not heat mold them or do any punching. The last thing to consider is that my skis are mounted with pivots for a 28.5 boot and I don't know if I can make them compatible with a smaller boot without a remount. What do you think I should do?

 

[jps2.0]

this is why pro model boots aren't the best idea

-I bet if the B&E boot was a supper narrow boot liek 96 last, wannabes would still buy it

Man I wish the B&E was narrow

So you had the right size on your feet and decided nah lets get shin bang and slide around in something way to large.

No I’m still riding with my 26.5’s but I’m thinking of either using them next season if my feet grow or go see a boot fitter

That’s a massive jump Id just wait

 

[BradFiAusNzCoCa]

B&E’s are too big for my heel yet too low/tight for my forefoot. They messed my feet up all sorts of ways

Man I wish the B&E was narrow

 

[SWRTOFFICIAL]

Dawwwwg nooooo…

you ain’t gonna be able to control ur skis for shit, the boot is the power transfer between you and ur skis and if that link is weak ur gonna be swimming around in those boots and eating shit constantly

I literally changed my boots, from one pair of 26.5 that ran large to another 26.5 that fit just right last season cuz I felt like I was even swimming in those

sell them shits before you die dawg, and just order something that fits

I think you should go to a bootfitter

Hopefully your feet eventually grow to this size

I'm going to guess OP is about 15, got into skiing in the last couple years, and is really jazzed about it. All of us have been that guy. When I was that I age I bought the cheapest twin tips the internet had to offer. The House's own brand Teton. Absolute trash ski. But twin tips so cool right?! Anyway, let this be a moment of learning OP. Your gear is an investment. Don't chase what is perceived as the cool brand or the bargain option. Get what is best for YOU. These boots due to the size issue are far from the best for you.

Pretty close but I’ve been park skiing for about 3 years and I’ve never really got info on what boots to get since I just keep buying my friends old gear. I just assumed if they felt tight it was a fit for me. I did buy them cause they were extremely cheap compared to retail and because I love the b&e model

 

[Nickmalysh]

That the most insane thing I read in a while, switch to snowboarding, boots question will be out equation

 

[jompcock]

You're gonna have such a hard time learning tricks/skiing in control. Going one size down from what I thought fit me okay was night and day and I feel so much more in control. Couldn't imagine having to a size up let alone 2.

Unfortunately not true. Like yea there’s less wiggle room with ski boots in terms of having a decent fit out of the box at least in my experience. But snowboard boots need to fit usually just as tight and my be heat molded and all the other stuff for the same reasons as ski boots. Especially since most snowboard boots are much softer and pack out relatively quickly having a good fit is super important.

I agree, i have both, however chances of injury muck lower with improperly fitted snb boot

stay with a 27. Mold your liners with a toe cap on, and square out the toe box with a few punches. A decent footbed will also make a difference

Go 27.5. If you buy the boot from a boot fitter they will include the heat mold and will likely put toe caps on during the mold which will give you all the space you need in the toes
