Another Full Tilt thread....

So I live in the middle of po-dunk lame ass Idaho, I am wanting to get some FT's.  My issue us that I live like three hours from the closest dealer.  My current boot sole length is 295, which is between the two FT sizes.  25.0 is 293 and 26 is 301, do you think that 25.5 would be like 297?  i know that the boot will be the same size with just more lining. Any suggestions?  Thanks,

Dude you have to make sure boots fit right.

 So, if i was you i'd set aside some time and drive the three hours to the dealer and try on a couple different pairs

293 for sure, the intuition liners will mold. Also, its always better to error on the small side, its easy to make a boot bigger, much harder to make it smaller.

Never buy a boot based on boot sole length as all companies are different! for instance i went from a 26 in a dalbello to a 25 in a full tilt! GO TRY THEM ON

Interesting that you dropped 2 whole shell sizes. Sounds like someone had boots that were too big originally.

Fulltilts sizing measures 1 shell size larger than normal boots, meaning a 326bsl, which is a 28 shell, will read as 29 shell from FT.

a 25 and a 25.5 share the same length 293 mm, its a 2:1 sizing system like most boots just at the factory a differnt pre-foot mold is used for 25, 25.5 and so on. with the moldable liner it creates a 1:1 fit.
