My shoe size is an 8 would I fit in 25.5?

It will fit well. I also have little feet that stopped growing so early (I'm 21). I have 25s in the hot doggers, and sometimes I wish I got the 24.5s (I like my boots super tight). Basically you need to try them on.
 
Salomon SPKs are pretty cavernous (104mm last I think) definitely try and get a shell fit on those first before buying.
 
bootfitter is the answer.

I wear an 11.5 shoe but wear a 27.5 full tilt (which is a 9.5 shoe size boot).
 
1. Get fitted for boot

2. Buy same exact boot online

3. Save a lot of money

4. Go get fitted in same shop

5. Tip fitter

6.????

7. Profit
 
people like you are the scum that is ruining the service/winter sports industry. If I get the feeling/someone tells me this is their intention I literally deny a bootfitting. Have done it before and when they asked why I laughed in there face
 
this is the reason that there are people that only fit boots. they dont sell boots, arent affiliated with any brands, and dont actually have anything to do with the profitability of the shop. My mom has impossible to fit boots, and every bootfitter that she has been to has been unaffiliated to the shop that he operates out of, they usually seem to lease a room in the back. They seem to be doing pretty well.........
 
Word I just need boot help I'm not flipping anything haha I just want to know something's about boots btw I don't have a shop around me so ill say this I'm looking at spk 25.5 and I'm a size 8 shoe so I'm just wondering what you guys might know about them
 
Shoe size 8 doesn't mean anything beyond the pair of shoes you're wearing.

The only way to tell if a boot is properly sized for you, is by checking the shell fit of the boot.

How wide is your foot?

How tall is your instep?

Do you pronate/supinate?

How wide are your ankles?

Where does your calf muscle attach to your leg?

How much ankle flexion do you have?

Those are all things to think about when you're buying boots, not just "Can i haz SKPs?"
 
Well in general are spk's a bigger sizing for or a smaller sizing fit just looking for experienced user of the boot
 
SPKs have a fairly wide last.

Will your size-8-shoe-size-foot fit into a 25.5? Sure. Will it fit fit properly? Nobody fucking knows.

Seriously.

I wear a 25.5, and I wear 9.5 shoes. But I'm in a 25.5 because my bootfitter put me in them after shell fitting me. I wear the boot that I do because of the height of my instep and the width of my ankles. I had shell work and custom liners made due to the width of my forefoot/toes.
 
Ok well who knows man idk I bought a 26.6 off here the man said I can send them back if they don't fit but the deal was to good to not see of they don't fit
 
a 26 will almost certainly be too big, I would guess you are a24 maybe a 25, but as has been said the spk is big, it also has the rubber toe so you can easily downsize.

but there is much more then just lentgh to consider. The spk has a very low instep, a mid width heel and wide forfoot. If your foot does not match all of these, the boots wont fit you well.

At least go put your foot in the shell before you buy any.

And never buy used boots. If your buying new off here thats good, but a used boot is not worth anything. Liners only last a short while so if the first user has done a season in them, they may not have much life left, not to mention that they will be packed out the the first foot shape.

Overall with boots spend money on them its your most inportant piece of kit
 
Well this is frustrating I'm not spending 400 on new ski boots and I have no fitter around so how an u suppose to know what size I am? You guys just keep saying the same thing
 
go to a shoe shop and get your feet measured. Aks for your size in the Japanese scale. Asia use modo for shoes which is the same as boots.

Really though you will be lucky to get boots for $400, in genrall footbeds alone will cost about $200. Save during the summer and then next season in sept or oct make a trip to a fitter and get some good boots. Trust me its so worth it. Buy old cheap skis but never skimp on boots.
 
Spending $400 on a new pair of boots is better than buying three of four pairs of $150 boots trying to find the one that fits properly.

And $400 is really cheap for new boots. I spent over $1000 on my last pair.
 
Damn so I'm deffently not going to buy a 26.5 in spk's and I'm a size 8 if your in a 25.5 and you have a size 10 foot.. Right that only makes sence
 
This guy ^ I don't have a boot fitter pretty sure you asked me like 2 times.. Closet ones like 4 hours away so I needed to know
 
Hmm. I don't think I said "go to a bootfitter" once.

I simply told you why we can't tell you if your feet will fit in the cheap boots you want to order on the internet.

How about this, just buy the fucking boots and then tell us if they fit.
 
shoe sizing varies so much that i would definitely reccommend actually going and trying on the boot
 
But anyone that have bad spk's I'd like to know of there very true fitting to the sizing charts because on Solomon's website it says my foot should fit.. Then I hear like people size 11 are in the 26.5 it doesn't make sence
 
depends on how you want your boot to fit. It goes further than the general question "does it fit?" for more experienced riders. I used to ride in a 29 (I have an 11.5 size shoe) and it was very comfortable and I never got toe or shin bang. However it was also a bit to free and didn't hold my heel in as tight as I'd like. Now I wear a 27.5 and have my toes more cramped in the front but my foot has more control overall, especially since my heel doesn't even move a bit now. But I have a pair of 28's on the side to use for touring as it's not as cramped around my foot but still fits.
 
I have skied in the spk and spk pro for the last 7 seasons. I have always worn a size 26.0 and for refernece Im in a 10.5 shoe.

Overall they fit wide and pretty long, espeically if you get the ones with the rubber toe (which you want to)

I always used foam injection liners to fill the volume but I cant speak of the stock liner. I have fitted hundreds of pairs too and the main issue is the low instep.

Overall you need to put your foot in the sheel at the very least. You said you have a fitter only 4 hours away. Make atrip of it, its well worth it to get comfy boots.
