haha, yes the title is very dicieving, no this thread is does not have anything to do with what most of you probably thought. But to the real problem i am interested in getting some new boots as my previous ones are completely beat. As a question to some of you NS'ers who work at ski shops or know something about skiing (2nd year skiing dont know to much). The boots i have now have a BSL of 207 and the boots i am planning to get have a BSL of 209, so my guestion is will it fit? Will i have to remount my bindings or should i be fine?

I can usually jam it in there, but you might need some lube or something.

What kind of bindings do you have? And they will most likely fit but i would suggest trying them on somewhere first.

You should be able to adjust your boots for 2cm difference. 205? jesus you got a small foot ha, maybe i just have a big foot.

Unless the shop that did the original mount did a piss-awful job, there should be PLENTY of room for a 2mm adjustment from heelpiece.

26.5 is 207/209? are you sure you don't mean 307/309? my 27.5 boots are 325 and according to a size chart, 26.5 is typically 305.
