and to answer the question. I would wear lets say a 27 lange which would be around a 315 but in FT I wear a 28 shell seth. I know the classic or the narrower last shell is like this, but am almost positive the Influence line is more true to size as far as mondo goes or BSL

The shells are smaller. ie. A normal 27 / 27.5 will have a BSL around 318, where as a 27 / 27.7 from Fulltilt has a BSL of 310.

its not necessarily a full half size small. they are just narrow. asking for boot advice on the internet is retarded.

For starters, boot sole length does not necessarily correspond to internal last length (which creates the fit). Secondly, there is no such thing as true to size. Here is no normal sized ski boot. The same boot can fit 100 people differently- it always comes down to how your specific foot interacts with the unique contours of the shell last. Therefore, you must get fitted in order to know "how the boot runs"- what might feel a half size tight to one person can feel a half size loose to another.

all fulltilt boots run narrow so you might want to go a size up

Boot Fitter here, Full Tilt shells do fit smaller than the other companies. As has been shown by the sole lengths that someone put up. Last width has nothing to do with length, but all the Full Tilts with the exception of the Booter have a 99mm width, which is pretty narrow. When we fit people, they tend to fit a half size bigger in a Full Tilt compared to say a Salomon, which fit pretty long.

For their BSL they don't necessarily fit smaller though which is key part. In general, ignore what a company has for their mondo point size and start with BSL then shell fit.

The Influence series of boots are 3:1 lasted, unlike normal boots which are 2:1 lasted. So with these it is imperative that you select your size based on BSL and shell fit.

Yeah word. The mondo sizing is pretty useless except as a general guide. Shell fit and overall foot shape are how we size boots in the store. The tendency for most people is that FTs will fit shorter. Personally I'm a hair over a 29.5 with a narrow foot, so in Dalbello and most race shells I fit a 29.5, but FT I'm a 30.
