Anyone know if a ski mounted for a 27.5 boot will fit a 28.5 boot?
Thanks dudes and chics.

It depends on the length of the boot sole and if the binding can be moved back at all. Just remember that if you move the binding back for a bigger boot, the center of the mount moves back too.

Depends where the location of the heel is on the track and if there is room to move back. Most bindings can adjust +/- 10mm if they mounted the heel on the center of the track. Check your boot sole length.

I went from a bigger boot to a smaller boot. 317mm - 306 mm. The midsole moved forward about .5 cm. You wont notice it.
In your case, it should move back.

Alright cool... but will the overall boot to binding hold weaken if a 28.5 boot is being put on a 27.5 ski, with the binding adjusted obviously? Or I guess maybe the opposite, will it be to tight?
And, it would make my ski .5cm back from true center roughly right?

You bought full tilts didn't you? I had the same situation 306mm full tilts.

Nah, I didn't..... I just saw a pair of skis on here that are center mounted for a 27.5 boot, and I have some older 1080 boots that are 28.5.
Buttttt.... I really wanna try the full tilt boots.. lol
