I have bought FT boots online. It just arrived. i ordered 26.0 and they'r 27.5. If i ship back in US, it takes about month and one month back to get right size. Is it available to ski with 1.5 size bigger boots without problem?

you will get a ton of shinbang if you ski with ill-fitting boots

This, no doubt plenty of black toenails aswell as cold feet. Best option is to get them changed, I know it sucks but not worth having your time on the hill ruined trying to live with them. I take it u actually got fitted for 26.0 yeah??

If ur growing i would keep them. its not worth not riding for a couple months. Just make sure to tighten them up and wear a realy big pare of wool socks

Wait so are you in the us? Cause that's what it sounded like but the waiting two months doesn't make sense so I'm guessing you don't live in the us? Either way I'd def call the company you bought em from and make them suck up the shipping, etc, and I'd make them ship it the quickest way possible. If you ordered one size but they sent you the wrong size, that's their bad and they need to fix it period.

This exactly, if it's their error they should do everything possible to sort it out, I'd be mad pissed not having boots for that long cause someone else messed up

If you have the money, order the new size. Once the correct size arrives, send back the bad ones.

A boot problem like this isn't generally something that you want to find an easy way out of. Since they are the key part in your skiing, they should be your priority to get right. Ship them back, and get the proper fitting pair

yeah that's the point i worry about. If i'll try it with something like double socks it will start getting huger and huger :-|


The main problem is that i live in Moscow, Russia. So it takes about month to ship something in US if you don't use FedEx. but shipping two times with fed ex it extra 200$ or more. I have bought boots on Evo. I asked them they apologized and said to ship it back.

I think this is the only thing i can do. I want my new boots for a new season.


it was just what i wanted before it arrived wrong size. I'm still wondering maybe i will keep them and try to make them fit.


Besides It's seth morrison 2012, a guy boots. and i'm female. So i knew from the begging that it would be a little more bigger. But not just like this

Did you try them on to start? I think it's going to be pretty tough to make the boot fit you, espiecially when they are too big for you. Your best bet is to sell those boots, instead of trying to make them fit, and just get a boot that is properly fitted to your foot. It sucks, but from all I can see, boots too big is going to cause you nothing but issue and pain after issue and pain. Sorry

Selling it in Moscow?? :D you must be kidding :D I have to sell it to somebody who knows FT. But here are just few people here who are doing freesking. Most of them already have ski boots and don't really need new pair. and someone who does not know FT always go to ski shop and buy something like dalbello ski boots. Besides it's too small for man and too big for women.

I'll just buy a new pair and send this back.
