Trying to sell my drop kick full tilt's, this always confused me, on the sole of my boot stands '28.5'
On the heel of my liner stands 'MP: 28'

Mine does the same with my 27.5 shell and 27 liner. Just specify that when you sell it. The 27.5 means 27.5cm. So the liner is 27cm so it can fit in a 27.5 shell. Most people recognize the size by shell size tho, so in your case, say 28.5

Most boots only come in what's called "half sizes" - they only make, for example, 25.5, 26.5, 27.5, 28.5 shells.
To do the sizes in between (25.0, 26.0 etc) they just use a different liner. This halves the number of shells (and expensive tooling/moulds) they have to make.

The boot size is a 27.5. What the manufacturers do is they will put a 27 size liner in a 27 or 27.5 size boot because eventually the liner will stretch to fit the shell.

There is no real difference.

So I should put the size as 28?

it's a size 28.5 as stated on the liner. boot manufacturers use the same size shell for both whole and half sizes.

it's a size 28.5 in a size 28 shell, to make that clearer.
