boot sizing

I am wondering what's your rule for boot sizing. an all-moutain should slightly touch your toes and when you flex they won't touch anymore. my boots were a bit too big, super comfy but all-moutain they would give too much. I'm now looking to buy a new park boot and I am wondering if I follow this rule, will my toes bang against the end of the boot ? do you guys actually take the size that would be right for you all-moutain ? thanks

get the smallest boot you can pack your feet in to. The lining will fill out in no time and will seem less tight.

yeah I know for sure man, I work in a ski shop. I just wanna know if a jib boot will be taken the same way (the smaller the better) and if so, will your toes bang up against the end ? my old ones were a bit big and never got my toes banged up, but then again I don't know if going smaller will do the same thing

you should be fine as long as they do up tight so you feet dont move. When you land you flex forward and you toes go backwards away from the front. I'm buying new boots tomorrow. yey!
