what you should do is NOT buy boots online thats a bad idea unless you went to a shop and have tried them all on and know exactly what fits you. which i assume you didn't cuz your asking about converting US shoe sizes to mondo point

i have a size 11 shoe, and size 28 in the 1080 boot. if you're going to order them online, fine, but go to a shop just to try them on at least. that's what i did.

if you wear 9 shoes and 25.5 that mean 1 thing, your shoes are way too big for you

make sure you at least try a pair of 1080 in a shop because a bad fit will fuck you up big time

i'll jump on the bandwagon and tell you to find a pair to try on. if you can't find a pair, try on a pair of salomon boots that are comperable.

i have a couple pairs of 29.5 1080 boots and wear a 13 shoe... but i like my boots tight as hell. I'd go smaller, but my foot is too wide.

10.5 is 28.5. I have 1080 in 28.5, that I'm trying to get rid of. Only used for one season, in good condition. Hit me up if your interested.

ya, nomen is right again, buying online (boots ne way) is pretty sketch. but if thats wut u gotta do, go to the local shop and try on a size 26 (26.5 isnt ne longer). u want ur boot to be as tight as possible and a 26 should be the perfect fit. but def go to a shop and try on different sizes to see which one feels the best. thats the answer to that q, but i just want to remind u that there r other boots out there and not to save $$$ on this portion of ur outfit. boots r just as important as the skis they control.

do you have super narrow low-volume feet or why the hell would you do that?

and for the record, heat-modling 1080 boots is a waste of time. all it does is break them in a bit faster. be a man, and break them in the old fashioned way. 3 days on the hill and there will be no difference.

28.5 Would be the best. Not to big not to small

or you can just buy boots that fit correctly and make sure your heal is where it belongs. for what its worth, i am one of those "experts" at the shop that would heat mold your boots for you. a vast majority of the public probably is pretty clueless and needs the help, but if you use common sense the heat molding is not necessary at all.

i couldn't agree more that he needs to go to a shop. he is clearly one of the clueless people.

its out of control, people are reccomending a range of like 3 full sizes in this thread

i'm glad they fit well... however, you do realize how unconventional it is to put a bigger liner into a smaller shell. i was just curious what the specific reasoning for it was.

im sure taylor while explain the reasoning behind this once he sees this thread, i got them from him but its straight up sex for me.. 1080s with flames in the liners plus a better liner equals sex for the feet.
