ok so i got fitted for a pair of dabello il morros, my foot is a 12, the man that fitted me taold me to get a 28 or a 28.5. so my question is should i go with the smaller size?
it doesnt matter either way.
28 and 28.5 have the same shell size and they come with intuition liners which you heat to have a perfect liner fit.
smaller size, and you will be stoked on the boot. Best boot ever. Check out Elan to while ur at it.
please, enlighten me as to how 2 boots each with the same shell size and different liner sizes will end up fitting the same?
what makes you an authority on ski boots? i've read most of the posts you've made in this thread and you don't know what you're talking about. you can't simply base a person's boot size from their shoe size at all. i wear a size 13 shoe and a size 28.5 (new lange WC race boot) to a 29.5 depending on the brand.
liners stretch? holy shit you just blew my fucking mind!!
no shit there sherlock. yes a liner will stretch but guess what, a 28.0 and a 28.5 will not fit the same. i've been fitting boots for several years for everyone from provincial team racers to national series mogul skiers to park rats and a ton of recreational skiers.
and as for intuition liners not coming in half sizes, please tell me how this guy was going to choose a 28.0 and 28.5.
allow me to let you in on a little something i have learned in the business; just because you've been doing something for 30+ years doesn't mean you're good at it.
did you really need a podiatrist to tell you that people wear shoes 1-2 sizes too big?
i would also like to know why you feel compelled to express other people's view points. there are a lot of conflicting view points with regards to fitting boots and to be honest, you really haven't expressed a view point at all. all you've done is made an incorrect statement regarding comparing shoe size to mondo point. if you really want to get technical with sizing, figure out what a 305 is in shoe size or mond point size. getting back to different view points, i've worked with some of the best in the Canadian ski business and learned from technical directors from some of the top footbed companies. do i believe everything i heard? not really. i took parts that made sense to me and applied them to doing things the way that makes sense to me.
don't come in here shooting off your mouth and trying to discredit everything people say that doesn't line up exactly to what someone has told you.
