Hey guys I'm a pretty agressive skier in and out of the park. I'm 6'2" 210 lbs but more importantly I have a size 12-13 and kind of wide. My current ski boots are 30.5 but I think the shell is too big any advice guys?

I'm 6'1" , and my foot is a size 12 4E width. My current shoes are adidas 13 4Es. The ski boot I've had the best luck with is the Tecnica Vento HVL in 29.5. (high volume liner)....even then I usually have to get my shells punched in the "6th toe" area, but after that they are primo. I believe the Tecnica HVL is the widest you can get, cause stock it comes 106mm in width. I believe bigger SPK's are 104mm at the widest part. I dont know much about Full Tilts and what not......but I've been pretty set with Tecnica so I'm stickin with em.

30.5 sounds a tad big but ill say it before someone else does: bootfitter.

Awesome guys thanks. Yea I know 30.5 are a little big I bought them a few years ago when I wasn't quite the skier I am now and have been paying for it since. Perhaps worse than the size issue with that boot was the noodle like flex so I'm stoked to bs getting some new ones
