Silly boot fitters

alright so today i went to my local ski shop to find out what true size i was in boots because i bought some shitty started boots off a kid in the beginning of the year. I was looking at full tilt booters in like size 27 and the guy took my measurement which came out to a 25.5 and he goes and proceeds to tell me that i need a junior boot at a 24.5. my shoe size is a 10 which is a little bigger for my feet because i like them comfy. not to mention that the year before i used a 25.5 boot which i can barely put my foot into. just thought it was pretty funny on what they were trying to do. anyone else have stories like this?

Dude, listen to what everyone is telling you: You're being stupid. Just because the "foot thing" they measured you with said 26, doesn't mean you're really a 26. I fit running shoes for runningwarehouse.com (the retail location), and our "foot thing" is off by a certain known amount for both men and women. When a woman reads size 8, I know she's really a size 7, because I use that damn thing every day and I know it is slightly off. Also, each brand of shoes is different (sometimes VERY different), and I'm sure this applies to ski boots as well. Go back to your bootfitter and take his advice. OR go to another store that sells your Full Tilts and realize how dumb you're being when you get the same professional recommendation.

Legit shoe size 9, even though all the shoes I wear are 9.5-10, but my ski boots are 25.5 and fit perfectly. Full tilts ftw.

i had the hotrods for a season and they hurt like a motherfucker and they sucked to ride in. i went back to the shop and the first thing i was told was that the boot is too big for me, and it hurts cuz my foot is moving. I didnt believe him, but i let him slip me in a smaller size (from a 27.5 to a 26.5). i am now in love with my new boots, they barely hurt and my foot is snug and tight, and does not feel crammed at all. the "extra room" is just room for your foot tomove and fuck up your skiing. If ur foot hurts and yor foot cant move, its not conformed properly to your foot, but the guy is definitely putting you in the right size boot for the shoe size you gave us. you clearly are an inexperienced skier and ragging on bootfitters is not a good way to bust ur way onto this website my friend.

...and to add...

how!? i got a 10.5 shoe and ride the same boot man! you sure thats snug? and why does everyone here think fulltilts are so kewl? you realize a fulltilt is not going to fit everyone and anyone, and they arent superior to every other boot out there.

HAHAHAHAHAHA

pretty much every high performance boot is made in a 24. He probably went to a kid boot because this fuck wad (topic starter) is too much of a pansy to flex a real boot.

I know they make them but no shop anywhere around here carries any 24.5 or smaller adult boots. To get those sizes we have to special order them straight from the company.
