Full tilts sizing

Hello ns,

I have a pair of the 09/10 fulltilt hotdoggers (the all red ones, year before the first wallisch pro model)
in size 26.5, I believe since then the sizing of fulltilt boots has changed. Could anyone tell me what the size 26.5 would translate into present fulltilt sizing e.g is it still 26.5 or 27.5?

Much appreciated

A 27 is a 310 BSL I'm pretty sure. They use a really weird sizing. A 27 is like half a size bigger then most other 26's. So if you fit a new full tilt in 27 you will likly be a 26 in other boots. Just another reason the shell check is so crucial.

forgot to add, I checked when I got to work. The classic shell uses a weird 8mm upsize rather then the standard 10mm. So a 27 is 310mm a 28 is 318 and a 29 is 326. This means a 26 is 302mm which is pretty short for a 26. So as I said before especially with full tilts the shell check is very very important in finding the right size shell.
