I am about to buy my 07-08 solomon kreations. I wear a size 11 shoe and i am contemplating getting either the 28.5 ( 10 and 1/2) or the 29's (11). For anyone who has these boots, are they more tight fitting or loose. I would hate to get boots that fit too big. thanks... positive karma for help

can't help you. i'm assuming you can't try them on, cause that'd be ideal. from my experience with boots, its better to have boots that are too small than too big. my boots were too big last year and it messed up my whole year

Yeah if you are swimming in a boot you will hate it and it will totally ruin your experience.  Too small is better.

this is just me, maybe my feet are wierd, but...
I wear a size 12 shoe and I fit perfect in a 29.0 SPK. I doubt the kreation is any different fitting, so theres my 2 cents.

the lining of the boot will pack out so the 10.5 will fit you better im pretty sure
i went down half a sixe for mine and they fit great... i suggest tyring them on in a store and then ordering online if you have found a great price somewhere

dude, i wear a 10.5 shoe and i wear a 26.5 boot, the smaller the boot you go the better, and i ride spk pros, pretty much the same boot size as the kreation, my friend  just got those in a 29.5 and hes got a size 12 foot

just make sure its tight when its new, cause as soon as you start skiing in the boot you will pack it out, so if its a bit too big, then after a few days riding it will be the right size, plus u can always punch it out a bit more if u need too!

i would say u should even try a 27.5 and get the person boot fitting you to fit for a "performance fit" i also work at a ski shop, so they should know what your talking about, but if thats just way to tight then get 28.5
