I've been riding FT for the past 5-6 seasons, and have slowly been realizing that it's not the fit I want. I've sized down from 27.5 to a 26.5, now I'm thinking of a 25.5 and straying away from FT (poor fit and plastics/durability suck).
I've had to pack out the volume in my boot with everything from molded liners, foot beds, shin eliminator (

I am a 8.5 US shoe (with chicken legs and thin feet)
135 and 5'9"
I have an instep of 22.5cm (measured as a circumference, not from one side of the brannock to the other)
Even with FT's 99mm last and a foot bed to accommodate my arch, i still cant figure how to keep my heel down with a snug fit.
With an instep of 22.5 it would make sense to size down to a 25.5?
Additionally, does anyone have experience with Dalbello's Il Moro and feet like mine?
Any help or advice on fitting a boot w my chickn feet helps!
cheers!!!
