FKNA, every F'ing day!
NEVER use that shoe-ski boot sizing chart.  I am a 12.5 street shoe, and a 28.5 Salomon.  If you get a 28.5 Salomon, you will cry through the season the shin bang will be so bad.  I would say, maby, DON'T GUESS ON BOOT SIZE.  One size off could either make your toes black, or give you lower shin bang that kills an entire season from one day of skiing.  Seriously, go in and get fitted, or wait till more shops have them near the season, or if there is no fitter than ask to try on a 25.5 and a 26.5(one of those should fit you, it is usually two sizes down from street shoe size).  Oh, and you better have WIDEE feet, or else you should try on other boots.  Don't be set on a boot because it is popular.

I'm kind of having the same problem.. I have extremely wide feet so I need to switch to spks but being midwest there is no shop around me that I can find that carries the spks. So even though I would love to be able to get fitted, I cant. Size 10 shoe. Im thinkin bout just ordering like a 27 or so and then paying to have it returned if it doesnt fit right.. kind of a difficult situation

Well, good thing spks fit me well but,
I wear a size 10.5 nike air force 1 with a tad tad bit of room, i tried size 29 spks, tried 28/28.5 spks, and found 27/27.5s fit me perfect, its different for everyone but imo id shoot for 27/27.5s
