Replying to Does this sound okay?
I recently went to go get fitted for some boots. I walk into the store
and the guy helping me asked me what type of skiing I did, and if was
looking for anything in particular. I said I do a lot of park skiing
and would like something park specific. He said ok and preceded to look
at my foot and measure it. He said that my foot shape and instep were
very similar to his and that he thought the SPK would suit me
perfectly, as those were some of the only boots that really fit him
well without a lot of modification. Unfortunately the shop did not
carry any. So he shell fit me for some Mojo's just to see how they
felt. They didn't fit well and when I flexed them I got some pain in
the back of my heel/Achilles area. He said he thought that's what would
happen and he went and got some x-waves.
They fit nicely, much better than any boot I had tried on before
that. He said my foot shape was definitely suited to a Solomon boot,
and asked if I for sure wanted a park specific boot. I said yes as I
ski park almost exclusively. So he recommended I just go get the SPK
Kaos online in a 26.5 as It would be perfect for me. So my question
is... Is this a normal occurrence, do the x-waves and SPKs fit
similar,and should I order the boots online?
