Replying to Just found out I've been skiing boots two sizes too big

I have had the same pair of boots for the last two seasons.  They're Atomics, not sure of the model, just one of their all-mountain boots.  I decided to look at some boots at my local shop while my friend was picking up his skis.  I talked to the boot fitter and was sized, to my surprise, to a 25.5; my current boots are 27.5.  I was never fitted for boots in the past; the guy who sold me my Atomics wasn't even a boot fitter, and I didn't know how important it was to be fitted.  So I just figured since my shoes are a size 9 or 9.5 I'd be in a 27.5.

He had me in some Double Sixes and SPKs.  I really loved the feel of the Nordicas, but the SPK's felt a little too narrow.  I wanted to try some Full Tilts but they didn't have any in my size, however, the guy said he wasn't a big fan of them.  Just wondering if anyone's tried the Double Sixes and what they think, whether Full Tilts are worth a shot, and if there are any similar boots you'd recommend.
