So i really want me some FT's, but the nearest retailer is like 6 hours by car away. I found some great deals online.
I Usually wear 11 - 11.5 in shoes. Anything below that gets uncomfortable.
Measured my foot today. 227mm in length, and 105mm in width.
Can I Fit into some full tilts? If so, what size?
Dont say searchbar. Cant find anyone with my exact foot measurements.)

You may have a better chance with the newere FT Boots as they are about 2mm's wider in the foot then the older models thanks to a new liner. At 105mm in the foot you have a wider foot which is not typically a FT fit. As for sizing if you are an 11/11.5 you may want to consider going with a 29/29.5 as they typically run a size smaller than most ski boots. Usually I would say you would want to get into a 10/10.5. If you are looking for a Full Tilt Boots and want to try some on Al's Ski Barn has some great options where you can order 2 boots and a return label and return the boot that does not fit or you can return both if neither fits.

personally I would think with an 11. street shoe Id pick a 27.5 boot. This may seem small but shoe size and ski boot size are never the same. If you can order 2 pairs order both the 27 and size 28, I think you'd be wasting your money on a 29.


However, best way to buy boots is from a reputable store, at least get them to size you up. The time wasted doing this will pay dividends in the quality of the fit.

105mm width is pretty wide if you did go with full tilts you'd most likely need them stretched to be wider so your feet arent too cramped and go to sleep.

I can't remember how wide the boots were last year but I think they were either a 96mm or 98mm wide. That is narrow and even with next years being 2mm wider its still a fairly narrow boot. You have a wide foot so I don't think you'd want to get full tilts even though they are amazing if they fit. I can't believe I'm suggesting this but you might want to try on some SPK boots. I know those are 106mm wide so their closer to the width of your foot. See if you have any places with SPKs so you can try on.

Hmm. I've tried SPK's once. The fit seemed pretty good. I could probably find some for cheap now.
Anyone with around the same size foot have or have tried on Fulltilts though? I'd love some, but i'd rather not buy them and figure ut they dont fit. That'd suck.
