normally its the two numbers that add up to your shoe size. 2+7=9 so youd be a size 27

i would say most people who wear a 9 shoe wear a 25/26 shell.  i wear 9 and i am a 25.5, but thats a whole nother boot fitter messy thread

gear talk. and please go to a bootfitter. ns is not qualified to give boot advice. a bootfitter will find the shape and size of boot that will fit your feet perfectly and make adjustments that will let your feet feel like they're floating while you ski. well not really, but they will know how to make you comfortable and maximize performance.

on a side note, i wear size 10.5/11 shoes but i rock 28.5s. its all about brand and foot shape i guess.
