okay i know some boot companies do only have one sized liner for 2 different sized boots, so i guess it depends. what boots do you have?

I would try to contact spk to see if you can't just buy a liner i'm sure it wouldn't cost much

yes almost all sizes and their half sizes have the same shell size, the only difference is the size of the insole

insole is the inside sole, you can take it out, id just get custom footbeds though. Plus the SPK's pack out a shit ton so I wouldnt worry about it

the foam piece under your foot where a footbed would go. They just slip out.

The shell is what makes a boot fit or not. A size 26 and 26.5 boot have the same exact shell.
