So right now i have a pair of SKPs in a 26.5 and ive used them a ton over the last year and i think ive fully packed out the liner and they feel too big in the toe box (when i bought them i opted to go up a size because the 26 felt a tad too small). Anyway i think its time for new boots and im really interested in full tilts but there are no dealers in my area AT ALL. Since the SPKs seem a bit roomy im thinking ill be ok with the full tilts in a 26.5.

Any suggestions...is this too risky w/o trying on the boot even though i know that i need something smaller/less roomy than an SPK 26.5?

why do people think that if they fit in SPKs but want full tilts, they'll fit in full tilts?

Always try on a boot before buying it.

i'm going to use an exaggeration to emphasize my point
the last of an spk is approximately 140 mm
the last of a full tilt is approximately 70 mm
you can't fit shaq in a geo metro

try on boots before you try them

really? I thought full tilts just morph to the correct length and width when you put them on

interestingly enough they have been proven to reduce green house gases by converting CO2 in the air in to pure steeze. if everyone had a pair of full tilts it would solve global warming.



and its not possible for you to fit spks and full tilts. another solution would be to get new liners a half size smaller or something.

Full tilts are awesome boots if you have ridiculously narrow feet. Theyr great for me because if have insanely skinny low volume feet, thus i love full tilts. So, do you have really narrow feet? Probably not if you were already fitted before for spks which are very wide. Bottom line go to a boot fitter, if nowhere near you has full tilts and you still really want them take a road trip somewhere and try them on first.

not that narrow.

Most people buy boots and shoes that are too wide for their need wich end up making their feet wider.

Try a pair  somewhere.


26 and 26.5 are the same shell wont make any difference once the liner is heat molded.
