Do my boots fit?

So I have Tom wallicsh full tilts. I wasn't able to see a boot fitter when I got them which frustrates me a lot . But my mom used to fit boots so she kind if fit them for me. She did all the tests a boot fitter would do, like does my heel go up, are my toes touching etc. she says they fit perfectly, but I just want to know if it is normal if when standing in the boots I am able to wiggle my toes. Also is it normal if when I force my foot to move in the boot, I can move it? I've only skied on them once due to the rain in the mountains, so basically what should I be feeling in my foot to be sure it fits well. And don't tell me to go to a boot fitter, because it is too late. Thanks. I wear a size 10 shoe and the boots are size 28.0 any help is appreciated.

boots will usually pack in after a few days so what feels good in the shop and the first few days might get fucked later

Wiggling your toes is fine but id stay if they feel loose, tighten them down bro.

to be 100% you would have to see a boot fitter but every one sizes up on shoes so your more likely closer to a 9-9 1/2 shoe which would be a 27.5 mondo.

Full tilts generally accommodate a narrow ankle.

You will definitely want to heat mold the intuition liners. Make sure wherever you take them heats them (liners) thoroughly to the point that they become extremely soft all over.

If you can't exchange the boots from where you got them... a proper boot fitter can add foam and some super feet to close up space in the boot. If your still growing your boots now may end up working out.

No idea. Impossible for anyone to say without seeing your feet in the boots. But it's absolutely not too late to go to a boot-fitter now. They can still help make adjustments to your boots to help make the fit better. In fact, most of the work a boot-fitter does normally comes post-purchase.

This. I doubt your mom made your footbeds too, which are totally needed in order to provide a proper fit and ensure that fit remains while skiing. You'll need to go to a boot-fitter anyway to get them and then they can check everything else too.

gnarRatmy mom used to fit boots


Boot salesperson =/= Boot fitter

And I'm gonna bet that your boots are too big for you. By at least one size.
