Ski boot poll

(This is just a follow-up because I didn't put a poll on the other one) I'm looking for some cheaper-priced full tilts and i have found 2 pairs. there's a dilemma, i found a pair my size for 300 that are my correct size, 29.5, but have one season on them. also i still have a lil bit of room in 29.5. Or i can get a brand new pair for 240 but they're size 30.5. they would be too big but are cheaper and brand new. i'd like to hear the opinion of others' on this topic. also i might need some tips on what to do if your boots are too big because i'm leaning towards the 30.5 pair

this. I'd bet money that you are already wearing boots that are way to big. maybe you even need a 27.5

The 30.5 would be a waste of money cause youll want to buy a different pair after the first day. And honestly the 29.5 dont sound like a great fit either. Can you go to a bootfitter and try on some other options? And do your boots need to be full tilts?

I have atomic boots and I never get shinbang cause they fit well, it has nothing to do with the brand

mate I bought full tilts without any professional advice and my feet have felts the repercussions. ya they’re a great boot but they don’t replace professional advice. even if you save 60 bucks by buying a size up, you’ll hate the way your feet feel and end up spending more money down the road. my advice: don’t buy boots to big and go to a boot fitter to see if you might need even smaller than 29.5. They will size you at the very least. Also, I wear a size 12 in nikes and wear a 27.5 boot. are you sure you’re a 29.5?

i went to a boot fitter but it was at the end of the season so they didn't have any full tilts to try and i was a 29.5 and the 28.5's were too small. ill prob go preseason to refit and see if im truly a 29.5

Dude boots are supposed to be right, they’re not supposed to feel like sneakers. You should not have any room in front of or behind your foot. Stop talking about Full Tilts, just go to a fitter and listen to them. If Full Tilts fit, great. If not, suck it up.

Too big of boots absolutely suck, don't size up, you lose way more control than you think. Seems sketchy buying boots you've never had your foot in when you don't exactly know your size

go to a boot fitter bro, more often then not people buy full tilts because they are cheap and trendy but in my experience they are pretty shitty boots

I've had bootfitters putting me in 29.5's since the beginning. Low and behold, 28.5 is my correct size for a tight fit. I think bootfitters are catering to tons of people, most of whom probably ski under 10 days a year and favor slightly more perceived comfort over high performance.

I’ve rode 28.5 full tilts for like 7 years with no problems then I got a new pair in 29.5 on accident because I thought that was my size was after so long and had the worst shin bang of my life after like 3 runs then had to sell them.

Go to a boot fitter and spend the money. It hurts but not as bad a shit boots. Brand ain't shit either. What matters is fit.
