Replying to Caught between two boot sizes? SPK Kaos

LineBoarder:
Whats up everyone,

Here is my dilemma.  I wear a 11.5-12" sneaker.  My left foot measures to be a 28.0 mondo boot size and my right foot measure to be a 27.5 boot size.  I am currently wearing 27.5/28.0-  Nordica Hot Rod's  (105 Flex, about 100mm width)  I am getting the worst toe bang ever with these boots, especially on my left foot, shit is a no bueno now, park riding is hurting.  Some shops tell me I should be in a 27.5/28.0 boot, some tell me I should be in a 28.0/28.5 boot.  I want to sell these boots as fast as possible and upgrade my feet with some SPK Kao's.

Should I go with a 27.5/2.80 boot or a 28.5/29.0?  I also just checked a site and it says they make the SPK's in a 28.0/28.5 mondo? (is this true?)

For anyone out there who rocks SPK's, do they run big/small/true to size?


-Thanks dudes.
