hello =) i have used searchbar for a while now..  so i just wrote this thread.

my foot is about

lenght : 27,6 cm
heel : 6,5 cm
widest spot :9,5 cm.

i have looked a little at the salomon spk kaos, would it be good for me ? , and would the full tilt be too narrow ? .



sorry for not being god of searchbar.

i havent read ur post dont need to. u need to go into a shop to try on boots, and see a bootfitter. boots are arguable the most important part of your kit, because ones that dont fit right will make u ski worse and be incredibly uncomfortable. just go see a bootfitter and figure out what works for yourself

what are you talking about? there has to be more than one place around you that sells ski boots.

it is impossibe for someone to tell you a good boot over the internet.  Atleast talk to the people at your shop and see what they can do for you

sorry man but hes right. you really can't say hey this is the boot that i want and i'm going to get without having a bootfitter work on it. IF you know anything about how a boots supposed to fit then you wouldn't have even made this thread and have gone straight to the bootfitter. I went to my bootfitter today with a few boots in mind that i thought would be be good for my type of skiing and the boot i came home with after over an hour of work on the boot wasn't something i thought i'd get when i vitied the bootfitter. Somehow the bootfitter manged to get my wideass foot to fit into kryptons after some shaving and heatmolding.

Thank you for not making the regualr cague what boots? thread but I would still listen to the advice everyone always gives. Go to a bootfitter.

However, IF your measurements are right (big emphasis on IF), then I will tell you right now that the SPK is way too wide for you and that you have a very narrow foot. STILL, go to a bootfitter, try stuff on, blah, blah, the usual.

no it makes perfect sense. yeah u gave us your foot dimensions but that still isnt much help. All that matters is what fits YOU and none of us can tell you that online. only you and a bootfitter can figure that out, when you have the boots on your feet

jea i see, but i want freestyke boots, and none of the stores have in freestyle boost now. and if they order some, it will be only one pair of boots. jibbing isnt that big here.. i always travel to sweden and stuff i the winter.
