If your shoe size is 9, then you need to buy a 29.  Simple math.

replied to early... it goes as follows. zou have shoe size 9 and 2 feet. so simply put the 2 infront of the 9 and you have your boot size.

You really should try on boots before you buy them. It could potentially save you so many future problems. Saying that though, I ski 27.5 fulltilts and usually wear size 11 shoes. If you have no way of trying on boots and still want FTs, I think you would be best off with 25.5 or 26 if you wear size 9 shoes. You could look at classics, hotdoggers, dropkicks, or maybe booters depending on how wide your foot is. Hope this helps.

douche bag posts aside...best way is to go into a shop and see a boot fitter. There is a 95% chance you will have the wrong boot and/or the wrong size if you go about fitting a boot in this way.

not to mention tilts typically run a 1/2 size small. I am usually a 27.5 depending on mm sole length (varies among companies) but am a 28.5 in tilts.

In all honesty, it doesn't matter what FT product you get. I would personally go with the Tom Wallisch pair because he's the best skier, but I heard all FT boots make you go pro regardless of size --so now it's just down to color now. Good luck!

FYI. Half sizes in Full Tilts almost make no difference. There is only a few millimeter diference between a 28 and a 28.5. If you are a size 11 in mens you might want a 29 instead of getting a 28. The reason why you may want to get a 28 is because the liners in Full Tilts pack out after a good amount of use and if you heat mold them they fit even better. No matter what you read or see online the best way to get boots is to go to a local store and get fitted.

Hope I was of some help.

No, you're an idiot. There is no half size period. a 28 and a 28.5 share the same shell size, just with a different liner, but after a few days of skiing the liner will pack out to be the same size. Didn't read OP, BUT GO TO A BOOTFITTER, just wanted to save you from this

^ yep this is correct.

The shells for the.0 and.5 boots are identical. This is th case for every boot no matter what brand.

Most of the time the liner is identical too, and its only the volume of the insole that changes, so when you replace the stock in sole with your custom footbed, a .0 and a .5 boot are identical For boots with no stock insole, the liner is made slightly bigger but really there is no differnce what so ever, its usally the same liner, just stiched tighter in the .0.

or you could not be a dick to the bootfitter who spends a bunch of time finding out the right boot and size for your foot. Usually if you get fitted in a shop you will get any adjustments free of charge, rather than if you buy a boot online, find it doesnt fight right and need any liner adjustments, a shop will make you pay for their time and effort. If you know you can get them online for cheaper, tell them, and barter with them on price and service they can provide you to gain your custom. most shops have a reasonable mark up on all products and are willing to give discount to loyal customers and virtually anybody with the cheek to ask. don't ask, dont get.

My shoe size is 9.5 and I ski a 28 full tilt. Everyone's foot is different so no one without looking at your feet can really tell your size. OP go get bootfitted!

Wrong. If you are a nine the take the two numbers that add up to that. A 2 and a 7 add up to 9 so your boot size should be a 27. Now you should try them on in person and get shell sized by an actual boot fitter. Cause you could fit into a size smaller, specialty if you wear an aftermarket insole which would make your foot smaller in the boot.

Hahahaha I think he was joking ;) and that isnt 100% true, that's a rough estimate and u normally add 1 just saying. Because by adding 1 you account for pronation, but again that's just to give a rough estimate, only way to tell is get measured

You really should go to a boot fitter but if your like me and have your heart set on them look at the drop kicks they are a pretty sick boot. You might want to get a stiffer tongue tho

thats why you get an insole so you dont go up a boot size.

Boot fitter. However, I ride 28.5 Hot Doggers and I love them. I have narrow feet, which are size 11. If you have wide feet, or even slightly wider-than-normal, I'd stay away. One thing I can say though, after coming from Salomon Spk boots, the flex is awesome in these things!

We seriously need a plug-in for gear talk so that when you make a thread and you type in the key words: Boot, Full, TIlit, Hot, Dogger, Tom, Wallisch, Booter, a huge pop up shows up with the simple words:

DID YOU GO TO A BOOTFITTER YET?

The size of the shoes you wear doesnt even remotely correlate with the skiboot size you need.

Also: get fitted. been there , buying from internet to get a good deal, ended up selling the boots for a shit price and buying retail price boots at bootfitter.

moral of this story on internet skiboots cheap=expensive
