So I was thinking of buying the K2 FL3X Revolver 2023 for the upcomming season but before I do it I saw that some have issues that the boot feels small?, i have the akward size of 28.7 atm so i've always used 29.5 but I dont know if i should size up to 30.5?? Happy with all answers thx in advance.

28.7? Is that a US Men’s 10.68?


Jokes aside, you can just go try them on dude, they do be everywhere 👍

if none of your feet is longer than 28,7 you should actually get 28,5

Hey, thx for the reply, I live in Stockholm and I've looked around on the internet to see if any shops have them but yet I have no luck.

I had 28.5 last season and At the end they felt very small and cramped, For the last 2 days of the season I rented 29.5s and they felt much better but thx for the thought :)

It's probably because that boot doesn't fit your foot very well. Try visiting a good boot fitter and see what they come up with.

Your parents don’t want you to go to a boot fitter to find boots that probably fit better?


or your parents don’t want you to size down for the Ft/K2 boots?

They dont want to spend money on a bootfitter since i will just outgrow the boots again and they belive its better to go for the 29.5 since i will grow into them

Well you could but chances are that you will loose a toe nail before the your feet grow to fit the bigger boot and trust me that shit is painful

you should probably buy a boot that actually fits you rather than buying into marketing hype solely for the fact that it’s a Full Tilt boot lol.

I get it. I have kids and don't want to buy 2 let alone 3 pairs of boots for the same season. Just go with what's comfy until you're done growing. You can use insoles, foam bits, etc to take up some volume in the meantime and take them out as your foot grows.

Maybe go to a ski swap and see if you can find a used pair that fits ok?

my feet are 29,5 and the FT 29,5 has plenty of room in front of my toes, I could probably even fit a 28,5

if the 28,5 feels cramped it's one of those:

- you are not measuring your feet correctly

- you have a wide feet - this boots have a pretty narrow last, so maybe you should go for another model?

Also at age 15 being a boy your feet are most likely done growing and it's highly unlikely they will grow more than 1 number from here on, so for sure do not get bigger than 29,5
