anyone know where i can find a size 26? ive been looking nonstop and cant find any! it seems there's only 25.5s and 26.5s but i really need a 26 so any help would be appreciated. thanks
26 and 26.5 are the exact same shell and liner. the only difference is the thickness of the baseboard... I might be using the wrong word there. But, basically, any bootfitter can swap the pieces to convert a 26 to 26.5 and vice versa. The bootfitter I go to doesn't even bother buying half sizes.
I measure to a 28 on my left foot, 27 on my right, and ended up buying a 25 boot haha. Best decision I've ever made.
nope. they're nearly impossible to get on if the boot's the slightest bit cold, but are absolutely golden once i'm skiing.
it just takes a couple strong heel kicks to get my heel back in the pocket and the boot fitting properly. i've also got custom footbeds, intuitions, and a couple boot punches that make it all work.
The liner maybe lasted (shaped, not thickness) slightly differently but once you heat mold the liner, any difference the company claims to have made between the whole and half size will vanish.
If you can find the 26.5, just buy it, have it meat molded, and then you'll be good to go.
