I were a size 13-14 shoe and I'm currently in a 31 rossi scratch and it is definitly too big. So I was wondering if you guys think I woulld be able to fit into next years T-Hall Ill Moro in a 29.5 cuz thats the biggest it comes in. I dont have any shops around that carry it so I dont have a chance to try it on. I talked to an elan/dalbello rep about it and he said its possible, but he could just be trying to get me to buy it regardless of the fit. also i work in a shop that carries dalbello, nordica, salomon, head, and fischer boots so I want to get something from one of those companies and the Ill Moro seems best, unless you have a better suggestion from one of those companies. and please dont tell me to get Full Tilt!!

Well man, look at it this way:

If you buy it, and it fits, sweet.

If you buy it and it does not fit, they you only just paid ~$400 for a pair of $750 boots, so resell them on Ebay.

What does the shell-fit look like on your 31.5s?  I have a 13, and my Krypton Pro 29.5s fit fairly well out of the box.  There's quite a bit of material you can grind out of the toe on next years T-Hall, and with the Poly Ether rather than Polyurethane they'll be pretty easy to stretch as well.

Shell check yourself in a boot that has a 336mm sole length, and if there's a bit more than a finger back there, then you can definitely work with the length.  Fit wise is an entirely different conversation.

^ yeah. for real.

in my opinion, you should try on the boots at your shop and see how they fit. A dalbello should be fairly similar, no matter what model... so, if you fit you fit, if you don't... well, resell them... or return?

If you carry dalbello boots in your shop I would try a different dalbello on that your store has in stock in a 29/29.5 shell and see how they fit length wise.  The kryptons are pretty low volume fit, not a great fitting boot if you are wider than C, so thats another thing to consider.  Worst case is you order them and they don't fit.  I think they are around 300 bucks on shop form so u can just sell them on ebay and take your money and order something else.  If you wear a size 13 shoe, 29 shell may fit, I wear an 10.5/11 shoe and im in a 27 shell.  There is also a thick amount of plastic in the toe box and with the 3 piece shell design you can take the tounge and cuff off and get in there and dremmel a bigger pocket for you toe if you have to, you can also stretch the shell too.  Just be careful with the width...if you are over a c width I wouldn't get them.  good luck.

Ok so we just got some Rampages in the store today and I tried on a 29.5, and shit its tight. I know all about packing out and all that stuff, but its seriously tight all around. I'm not sure of my foot width but I dont think I have a particularly wide foot, just a big one. It just really wasn't comfortable at all. So does the Il moro fit the same way? I know they both have a 98mm last, but is the fit any different? I'd love to get thise boots, but if its just not gonna work I may go with a Nordica Ignition or possibly a salomon boot.

We dont carry any of salomon's freestyle line so I cant try those on either. I tried an ignition in a 30 and It feels great. But I want to know how solly boots fit compared to nordica.Or even possibly head mojos. So what do you guys think is my best option? Should I just stick with Nordica or give the Il Moros or solly, or mojo boots a try?

I have a pair of 2009 Tecnica Agent 110 in size 30.5 that i will be selling soon.  I wear size 12-13 shoes and these boots are a little big on me.  I ordered some Dalbello Krypton Pro's in size 29.5 and I am waiting on them to come in.  If you are size 13-14 then these should fit you perfectly.  These boots were only skiied on 6 days.  I paid full price for these boots at the beginning of the season and now I'm pissed because I thought they would ski fine when I first got them, but they are too big for me and unfortunately I can't return them.  Send me a message if you are interested in these boots (the flex is pretty much comparable to the il moro's) these boots are stiff enough for all mountain charging but still soft enough for park

I have a size 13 foot and about an d/e width and I have plenty of room in 28.5 rampages, they fit super tight at first but now im having to tighten them up a fair bit. but seriously go try shit on and find the best fit for you.
