Do these boots run small or big or just right?

Go try them on with a fitter and see how they feel overall for your foot. There is so much more to picking boots out then just getting the right length, and pretty colours.

I wear a size 10 nike but the spks are a tad to big.  In general are you suppose to buy smaller then your shoe or the same size?

Well if your SPK are too big, you dont really know what size you need to begin with. It could be a 26 shell fits maybe a 25. In this case knowing if FT run big or small will not help as you do not know what size your feet are.

Sorry if this is not what you are looking for but if I was you, wait untill your skiing in a resort and go see a bootfitter. There the only ones who can really help you.

You buy your measured size or maybe one smaller. This could be the same size as your street shoe, or maybe smaller. There is no way of knowing untill you get your feet measured.

I wear an 11 1/2 shoe and ride a 28.5 hot dogger which is supposed to be like a 10.5. anyway, go try them on before you buy them.

Gear talk thread creating really needs a disclaimer right above the create thread button saying "dont ask questions about boot sizing unless you have been to see a boot fitter"

It depends on so many things, I wear a size 12 but have a 28.5 ski boot which is a lot smaller on a sizing chart

There is no relativity to a mondopoint size and shoe size you wear what fits you i am a 10.5 but i wear a 26.5 shell and a lot of the time a bootfitter will find the shell that fits the anatomical structure of your foot
