Last year I bought this boot in a 26.5, however i'm starting to grow out of it and really don't want to have to buy a whole new boot. Does anyone know if a 27 liner would fit into the shell?

1cm bigger so it won't fit. Even if you squeeze it in it's going to feel the same length. Take your insoles out if you want a little more room.

take the boot to a shop and ask them to punch out the front and sides. it will feel like a bigger size then, thats what i do to all my boots

get them ounched out, and get super feet, or another kind of in sole, cuz they pull your heel in to the back of the boot, and pulls your whole foot back, so it will fit and feel smaller

this sounds like an excellent question for the boot fitting cult!

I already have custom insoles because I have flat feet!

Time for new boots then. You've got 5 months to save up.
