Full Tilt and SPK Width?

hey, I'm looking at buying full tilt Booters or Salomon SPK Kreation's (both size 28.5).  I was just wondering if anybody knows the actual foot width of the boots since there is no full tilt dealers in WIsconsin, and nowhere within like 6 hours of me either.  I would like to try on both, but unfortunately i don't think it is possible.

full tilt is in the low 90 mm range, like 92mm or something. and the spk is substantially wider at somewhere around 103mm.

SPK= either 104 mm or 106 mm

thanks bro... im still unsure about buying online, so i might go to Al's Ski Barn and just do the "buy both, we'll send you a tag so you can send back whichever pair doesn't fit right for full refund" deal

Wouldn't recommend buying online you should go to a proper boot fitter.

am i just expected to drive 2 states away (im 15 and can't drive as it is) to have boots fitted? there is a shop in Ohskosh called Hergert's that selss a lot of 'board stuff, and very little ski stuff, but my friend who works there said they carry Salomon.  i doubt they'll have a boot fitter, but would it benefit me to just go in and ask if i could try them on? then at least i could judge how the SPK's feel, and if they're too volumous i could order Full Tilts

I had the same problem (no full tilt dealer close enough to try any on). go to a nearby boot fitter and figure out how narrow your foot is. Tell the boot fitter that you are thinking about full tilts also and that you want to know if your foot is narrow enough. Try on as many differnt kinds of boots as you can. Dalbellos are suppose to have a similiar fit to full tilts although when I tried on dalbellos i didnt like the fit but I love my full tilts but they have the same width I believe. As long as your foot is narrow enough I think full tilts will work cause of the intuition liner.

another option is you could always just order them and try them on and if they dont fit you can send them back and just pay the shipping charges. I wouldnt advise this option though.

As a warning dont get your mind set on just one boot. Be open to any boot and get the one you find most comfortable.
