I have size 8-8.5 shoe size. Would a size 27.5 be too big or would it leave a little wiggle room?

you arent being the nice guy by saying this. he wont thank you if his boots dont fit his foot right because his sizing is a little off.

go to a bootfitter for sure. those will be wayyy to big

is that shoe size what size you wear normally or what your true size is? i should be in around an 8.5 and normally wear a 10
and i wear a 26.5 boot

but go to a bootfitter

A wise man known as Onenerdykid once told me: Only the boots that fit YOU. Don't listen to what other people say works for them because they don't have your feet. If someone hates X boot, it might be the perfect thing for you and vice versa. Trust your local fitter, trust your feet, and make sure to get footbeds. Given the physics of skiing and the nature of feet, you will most likely be happiest with a good footbed that will keep your foot from moving inside the boot.

Once you have found a boot that works for you, then it makes sense to ask NS if anyone has had any durability problems or other issues with the boot. But, in the end, always buy what works for you and not someone else.

Seriously, go to a bootfitter. Im not trying to be a prick, all im going to say is...

I wear a size 11.5 street shoe. I dont wear big, That's what i measure out to on the foot scale.
My feet measure 284mm and i wear a 27.5 Full Tilt.

32.5s will be fine and you will have room to grow so they will last you a while
