um to find male sizes just add the two numbers
ex. 27; 2 + 7 = 9
for females add the two numbers plus one
24; 2 + 4 + 1 = 7

DO NOT BUY UNFITTED BOOTS. you need to have them fitted at say a ski shop, and just to let you know you should get the boot a little small. You are welcome.


Dont waste that shit

also a 27 is same as 27.5 and 28 same as 28.5
only difference is volume thicker footbed in whole sizes

that doesnt apply to tecnica, and possibly some other companies. Tecnica for sure makes lasts for each individual size.

Yah, 27 is the same shell as 27.5, 28 the same as 28.5 in most boots.

i disagree about tecnica having different lasts for half sizes. it's not true. whole sizes and half sizes are the same

Can't believe this thread is till going.

Differenet boots, even though they may have the same 'size number' are not comparable.

Take a look at Lange size (whatever) and the bootlength will be different for different models. Add in the factor of toe volume, heel width etc.....

YOU NEED TO PUT THEM ON YOUR FEET

Preferably with someone that knows what they are doing.

Your foot-boot-ski energy transmission is the most important aspect of your equipment setup.

i dont want to sound like i am bragging and stuck up or anything, cause i'm not, but i work at a shop, and have sat through countless clinics on products, so i know what i am talkin about, tecnica has 1:1 lasting with some of their boots, thats why their upper end models are more expensive than a comparable model from another company generally
