i bouught ski boots last year .. i wasnt sure what to buy and i ended up with a pair of atomics ..I got really into the park and these boots are horrible for jumps there is no cusion and i smashed my toes on the toe cup i dont know how many times .. so im trying to buy a par of Salomon SPK boots online .. they are size 26.5 and my atomics r 27.0 .. so bc i was getting toe bang i think they are maybe a little to big so can i get away with changing to the 26.5 is it really a huge diff .. im trying to find a retailer near me so i can try them on but im not sure if i can..any advice would be helpful

Go to a boot fitter. If there are none near you, drive farther. It's not optional.

Read the thread stickied at the top of this very forum.  Someone has already put in alot of effort to answer your question (and many others) in great depth.
