Alright before the serachbar police start complaining i did searchbar

This is my problem, i did have boots that were fine the whole season, now from the end of the season till now i have grown and  the problem is that i have grown out of my boots, and i am going to COC in 18 days. i need new boots. so i went to a local shop that is skate stuff so there all year round and they still have ski boots, so i was in luck,

Now they had full tilts and dalbello and technica. the thing is tht the guy said he couldnt get to the full tilts(kinda lazy there but thats okay) and dalbello kryptons, now i tried on the kryptons in a 26.5 mondo which was 9 US and the fit nicely. Now my friend was there and he help me go through the steps of shell fit and liner fit and there was some room in the liner, not much though. So lenght wise they feel fine and they are comfotable and i put my footbeds inside of them

My main question NS is that my old boot was a the SPK Kreation and im most likely going to a dalbello Krypton. i got the SPK at a place with a proper boot fitter but he didnt fit me another guy did. but i used them for two seasons and i didnt have many problems.

So heres the question for those of you who know boots is there gonna be a big difference between SPK and Kreation???????????????????? because i know SPK is meant for a wider foot

Thanks NS

And if you really want karma i will give i to you i just dont think it the only way to get someone to reply
people are nice on NS

too lazy to get to the fulltilts? wtf. complain to the manager of the store about that and get a huge discount so if they don't fit then just bring them back.

see thats the thing he said he couldnt get to the boots and the guy doesnt think ill be able to flex the full tilts becasue im only 5'4" so yeah
and its already a good discount
all the boots there are 200 maximum
but the full tilts are a older model but every other boot is fine
so....

First off a 26.5 is a US 8 shell.

Secondly, if when you put the boot on, if it felt firm, but not too tight, you should be good to go. You should be aware of where the end of the boot is when you put it on, but apon flexing you should feel your toes and heels slide backa  bit.
