27.5 is basically a 9.5 in us so your probly ok but you def want to go to a boot fitter before you ever buy boots.  cause again there are 4 basic shells and with in that 12  different volume configurations so just gettin the length right does mean the boot will fit well.  a good solution now is to use intuition liners on improperly fitted boots or full foam customs.  hope this helps

all the spks fit the basically the same so assuming you bought the size they fit you in you should be good.

Is there one at your mountain? You could call ahead and book in a time with them to get fit up for boots - that could be the best thing to do, and definitely worth time time and money
