Mango99I have the FT B&E pros. Im a 9.5 us true shoe size and the 27.5 fit me the best idk what the other guy is on but 30 is way too big and 25.5 is way too small. Even if you look on a shoe size chart to ski boot size chart 27.5 goes with 9.5 us mens.
The most important thing about boots is getting them heat molded so they fit your feet properly and the width of the boot depending on how wide your foot is which a boot fitter can arrange. Even if your boot fitters dont have the FTs you want you can get sized then buy them online and come back and get them heat molded.
Philip1178Yeah it’s just really hard to find full tilts in stores none the less in my size Yk?
mystery3I'm not trying to be a jerk but this is basically nonsense. What size is a "9.5 us true shoe size" like what is the length and width of your foot.
If I was a betting man I would bet 27.5 is too big or at very least a "comfort fit" on you but it all depends, maybe you have a massive instep and the boots are fitting on that and not the length of your foot. Too many variables to fit boots over the internetz

animatorThis is possibly the worst response to any thread ever made on this website holy shit.
“Even if you look on a shoe size to ski boot chart”
“You can get fitter, buy them online, then go back to the shop to get them heat molded”
A. Charts mean fuck all. They’re designed for idiots who think that ski boot sizing is standardized, and who think that buying boots online rather than being professionally fitted is a smart move.
B. If you go in to a shop, and they don’t have Full Tilts, there isn’t a way to, “size,” a customer. Just because I could tell Johnny Appleseed that his foot is a 26.5, doesn’t mean that I can tell him if a Full Tilt would fit his foot. That, and if you go in to a shop and waste somebody’s time just I buy online and then go back there and ask them to fit them for you, you’re a piece of shit. Online sales kill brick and mortar shops, and soon there wont be any fitters at any shops because people like you think you can read a chart and buy boots online.
C. If you’re a true 9.5 and you’re wearing a 27.5, you either went to an ill-qualified fitter who immediately put you in a boot that’s too big, or you tried the 26.5 on and cried because it felt too small. I wear a size 10 shoe and my foot measures 27 centimeters long exactly and the 27.5 Full Tilt is way too long.
TLDR: don’t give shitty advice when you have no idea what you’re talking about
Philip1178Bro omg what did I do, I was just asking about boots to get from full tilt

Mango99So you are telling me when you are getting fit for boots the exact thing the fitter does is measure your foot with a bit of forward lean. Then once they have your foot size and width they pick out boots for you to try.
Obviously he should go to a boot fitter but from a previous response OP said he does not have any fitters close that offer full tilts....
So getting his size and width from a fitter then buying online is the best OP can do without driving to a fitter that has full tilts.
And you are telling me someone who is a 9.5 is fitting in a 25.5 or 30 is worse advice than anything I gave
Also you wearing size 10 shoes when you really are and 9 is bc you wear your shoes for comfort not skiing
Obviously you don't need full tilts to ride park and a boot that fits is best however if he wants full tilts that is the best way to go about it to get one that fits ok if buying online and not able to buy in store.
animatorHonestly I don’t even care. OP if you wanna listen to that kid then go for it. He thinks that length and width are the only 2 factors that go into ski boots so word. Numbers only mean so much anyway, width and length aren’t the only factors that go in to a boot fit. Volume, pronation, supination, and many more are involved too. Take the word of the kid who bought boots that are too big, not the boot fitters.
For the idiot who thinks he knows what he’s talking about, I don’t wear 10 shoes “for comfort.” I wear them because they’re the size that fits and I also said that my foot measures 27cm long. If you knew as much as you claimed to, you’d know that that is longer than generally advised for a 26.5. Don’t give people wack advice because you’ll be the reason someone spends a bunch of money on something that doesn’t work for them.
Mango99So you are telling me that OP has stated that he barely fits in size 27.5s for other brand boots. Also when the liner is heat molded it expand filling up the extra space to a half size.
At the end of the day he should just talk to a fitter and figure it out from there
There is legit a guide pined on this forum that OP should use instead
