Packing out

Is it true that a 27 liner will pack out into a better fitting 27.5 liner since the shell is the same? Thanks.

entirely depends on the liner. Contact the bootfitters and ask how much the specific liner will pack out.

My new liners fit the same as when I got them (meant to be that way and super comfy) my old liners packed out quite a bit.

There is no difference between a 27 and 27.5 liner. THe only difference between the two is in the insole in the boots. The insole in the 27 has an extra layer of padding which will compress down after a few days of riding. Most boots will pack out about a half size at least. Some a little more if it is a really plush liner.

no, there is no different between an 27 and a 27.5 SHELL.
the liner for a 27 will have more material, and 27.5 will have less.

your both right, it depends on the manufacturer, i hear a few of the manufacturers won't be carrying half sizes soon......

thats probably not true...
i mean, peoples feet are different, so they need different sized boots... its not really an option....

although, my shop seems to only carry nordica in half sizes, like no 27, only 26.5 and 27.5

Ive been told by reps from lange, nordica, atomic, dalbella, technica, head and rossi that there are no differences between a full and half size liners. That would cost the manufactures more money. Ive tried on boots that are a 27 vs a 27.5 with my conformables and there is NO difference.

27 and 27.5 = exact same shell size.  27.5 has slightly bigger Liner.  Most shops only carry half sizes because you can always put a footbed with more arch support to pull ur toes back if ur a half size off.
