Hi! i have tried diffrents models of ski boots, like, salomon spk, kaos and kreation, and i have tried the nordica ace of spades one, but none of them fit my foot! I have a very high foot (rist) and i can't even tight my booter bindings! It hurt's so much! the best of them was clarly the ace of spades one! but it's not good enough at all! So i need your help!!! What boot do you think will fit me? my shoes size is 28.5, but very high foot.

Shoes i haven't tried yet, that may be working? i don't know.

- All full tilts (i've heard them are so small)
-Spk Pro model
-Nordica dead money


Help please.

did you get them fitted? what is the exact measurement of your feet? shoe size doesn't matter unless your foot is exactly 28.5cm. heat molded liners are a god send also

yeah i did, (my foot is 327mm) 28,5 in ski boots.
but the big problem is that my foot are so high, so i cant even ride them 1 min before i must take them off!
So all i know are that Ace of spades are higher on the foot than kration and kaos, but nothing more! thanks for help.

I kind of have the same problem but no where near as bad as your's is apparently. There are some ways to cut into SPK liners on top of your foot so it gets loosened.

Ace of Spades and Dead Money fit the same, as do all the SPK models. You may need to get some work done to make the boot fit over your instep.

I have a high instep and ended up going with Quest's and lifting the Instep of the boot up. Other boots that have worked for me are Lange RX/RS that I did the same thing too.

ok so you have a high instep.

a boot fitter can grind shit down and pack things out for you to make it work.

Just get the spk's, I kinda had the same problem. I had to rent out some boots, but they didn't really had my size, so I just took the spks a size smaller. At first i thought I would be able to ski 10 min in that boot because they where pushing down so hard on the top part of my foot, but after a couple of days they softened up like crazy! So if i where you I would just rent out some spks and if you have complete pain in them after a couple of days, you can just change them.

Peace
