Depends on the binding, but going down one shell size is GENERALLY ok..

As i said though, it depends on the binding itself and also how the binding was initially set up/what position on the heeltrack the heelpiece was set at.

It also depends on th company, because they use the same shell for different size boots, so even though you are going down .5, it couls still be the same sole length. If the shell size is different, you should be fine, as long as the binding isn't at the end of a track.

fosho, check the shell and if its different go to a shop or get a friends boot thats the same size and check if u can move the heel to fit it.

It'll be fine. And if it isn't then you can get your shop to throw you a free remount when you buy the boots.

Did you adjust the binding or literally get the boot and try to stamp it in.
What bindings have you got?
You may be able to get into a 28.0 (325BSL) SPK, they pack out loads and because of the extra width than the foil they are generally good.
The foil is a fairly narrow boot though and the SPK is a boat. You sure they fit you correctly?

you should be ok.

a few questions though are:

what are the bindings?
were they origionaly mounted for your 29 foils?
where are you buying your boots from?
