sup gear talk,

now I was just at windells and I happened to win a pair of next year's il moro T ID's. I am SUPER stoked because I never win anything! it's awesome! but they're much too small.

here's the question.

do I sell and subsequently rebuy when they are released, in my size

or do you think dalbello will let me exchange, even before they're released?

thanks yall

first off thats sick! i would send them an email about the situation and then go from there when they reply.  i'm sure they would exchange the sizes.

Best bet is to go through a shop which stocks them. It will be much easier and cheaper then having to try to return the boots to dalbello. You can also garentee you get the correct size and have them fitted if you go through a shop. What size are they though as some sizes will be wanted by a shop much more then others

They're 8 1/2, american sizing (what's that, like 26?), and I run 28.5s. I'm thinking that too, but my local shop sucks and might not even carry the boot when it finally is released.

Well if they are a 26 that's the most common ski for boots for men so most shops will swap them. Just try to find a good boot fitting shop fairly near to you who carry them. I would imagine most shops will get stock in a month or so, so not to long to wait. If you buy things like footbeds from them they will prob fit them for free too. What sizes shoes do you wear out of interest, its a bad way to gauge the size of boot you need but can help

Yeah you prob do need a 28 then. Like I said try find a decent shop and in sure they will swap. Buy some footbeds as I said before an hopefully they will fit them. Good luck

with Dalbello I highly recommend not getting a bigger size. I know people who use 28 FT and ride 26 Dalbello, Theyre gonna pack out more than expected, and you can punch out the pressure points.

Sparknotes: dont get a bigger size, break them in.

That's hard to believe, a 29 FT had the same BSL as a 28 Dalbello il Moro . So a two size difference would be tricky.
