Steezmiester007So I'm in the market for buying ski boots and I'm having so much trouble trying to find my actual size. I go to a fitter that throws me in a 28.5 since I wear a 10.5 shoe. Then I go to another guy and he measures my foot and I come up as a 26. So he shoves me in a 26 in multiple boots, and my feet were almost numb after 2 min in mostly all of them, especially some full tilts. Then I go to another shop and throw on some 27.5s and my feet are a little cramped but not as worse as in the 26. So I'm assuming some 28s would solve this problem. Long story short, I'm going to another boot fitter tmrw a state over, who's supposed to be top notch. I've never had so much trouble trying to find a damn ski boot to buy. Anyone ever had this much of a hassle?
.MASSHOLE.Who the hell is fitting you in a boot?
No way should you be in a 28.5 if you are a 10.5 shoe.
What state are you in
Steezmiester007I'm in CT. This guy from a town near me was literally forcing my foot into 26s and telling me that they're my size. I was like listen dude, these clearly don't fit..but he was so hard on about proving me wrong lol. So I just left.
JayDopedepending on how you described your skiing ability, he may have down sized you because you may have said something along the the lines of being a super aggressive expert skier, but whatever. Mondo point sizing im GUESSING youre a 27/27.5 (same BSL) It honestly doesnt matter at all what size shoe you wear. Full tilts may be too narrow for you if youre looking at the older shell style. Check the mondo scale next time you get measured up and see where youre at. My guess is youre measuring at a 27. Remember the boots will feel pretty snug because they are brand new. Is this also your first time purchasing boots?

.MASSHOLE.Do you ski in VT?
If you do, get fitted up there.
If you can drive to MA, try skistop in Westwood.
PM OneNerdyKid for recs in CT though.
Steezmiester007I never told him my skiing ability. I just suggested I was looking for a parkish/all mountain, nothing to crazy of a boot. I show up as like a 26.5 on the scale maybe 27 but when I actually get into boots my toes are ready too push through the front of the boot. Even when setting my heel back, so idk what the problem is. I know they're supposed to be pretty snug since they're new but it was actually painful in 26s. And yes this is my first time purchasing boots.

adrian191wtf. I wear a size 10 shoe and my boots are 28 or 28.5 and there snug. They are 2013 full tilt high fives.
adrian191maybe I said that wrong. I just looked at a couple charts and it said a size 10 is 27.5. I went with a size bigger boot cuz my foot is still growing. I got a footbed inserted into them last year when I was like a 9 and now my foot grew and they were tight so I took the footbed out. And they are snug. I have no idea how you guys are putting your feet in such tight boots.
B.QuincyJust wondering where you went in ct, im from here too and yes the bootfitters are pretty shitty but i think some of them had valid points. But what shops did you go to?
