I need urgent help with sizing of the SPK. I'm not sure a 28.5 will fit my size 11 foot. I'm getting them online so I can't try them on. PEOPLE WHO HAVE WORN SALOMON SPK SIZE 28.5, WHAT SIZE SHOE DID YOU WEAR? HOW DID THEY FEEL? PLEASE REPLY. Thanks.

That's really my only option. I'm buying them cheap from on here. Money is very tight and I need spk's really bad. I lost both of my toenails last year.

Go to a shop first and try them so you will know what size you need

Just cause there a "park boot" they will not solve your problems. Thy could be just as bad or worse as your current boots

I've tried on spk's before. I know they fit my feet well. I just want to see a couple people's size feet and boot size.

You need to try them on, I wear a US 10, but wear a 26 so on that reasoning you would be a 27.

But there is so much ore then just length to consider.

Go get fitted first, then if they fit, you could get them online, then take them back to have them fitted to your feet.

However you will probably find they end up costing as much as just buying them in the shop in the first place.

Don't use your show size when you buy ski boots

Im inbetween 10-11 not really sure but I have some 27.5 SPKs. I strongly suggest going to a bootfitter in person.

what T P says might as well be considered quoting boot scripture.

All of the bootfitting shops around me don't have their ski boots out.

^ but they will still have there things to measure and asses feet.

A good bootfitter will be able to measure you up, and tell you in theory if the boot will fit or not.

But overall dont buy boots online, its never a good idea. And even worse is buying second hand boots online, you have no idea how worn out the liners are just by seeing a pic.
