Unfortunatly you cant really buy boots to grow into as they will fit so badly untill you grow into them. You need to get the size of boot that fits you when you get them fitted. Some shops will offer a buy back program for kids stuff, so maybe go see if you can find a SPK Kaid or something.
Size wise get your feet mearsured then you will know.
Technically if your foot was exactly a 10 then yes possibly a 28 would work. However people very very rarly buy shoes the exact size of the foot. It just would not be comfy. For example take the insole out of your shoe. Stand on it with your heel at the very back and see how much room there is infront of your toes. Its usally at least a 1cm.
Now when buying ski boots you get your exact size not your shoe size. The insole from a boot would be exactly the length of your foot. Thats why you normally wear a smaller boot the shoe. Also hopefully you will get some kind of footbed for the boot which can again shorten your foot somewhat. As I said before I wear a size 10 shoe but ski in a 26.5.
should i just rent boots? Or is that a bad idea
