So I'm in the market for some ski boots (actually bought some but not sure if they fit right). So I went to a boot fitter and tried on some Dalbello il Moro MX110s. They fit perfect but I wasn't sure if I wanted that boot yet. Black Friday came around and I got a good deal on the Il Moro IDs similar boot but diffrent liner and slimmer last. The mx110s were 103mm width and the Il Moro ID's are a 98mm width. My foot is measures 27 length and 100/101 width. I went with the 27.5 size as the 26.5 were just too tight. So my boots came in and i try them on and with the 98 width they feel to tight. I feel a some pressure points on the outside of my foot. I know boots are suppose to stretch out after a few days but will they stretch out width wise? Any thoughts on this? Maybe return these and get the ones that are 103mm. Or maybe keep them and have a boot-fitter stretch the shells. Would love to hear opinions.
Man U fucked up just wildly buying and altering size to get last
that said if it were me I’d find a good BOOTFITTER for possible fitting and suggestions and educate myself as well
I just “purposely” bought boots that were “too small” , last only , perfect fit for length bc previous boots were too big bc i bought wildly before learning after having a boot that was way too small , but anyway they ARE the right shape for my foot and my boot fitter has turned them into high performing foot gloves my 104.75mm lasted foot in a 100mm 130 flex boot and I’m comfy and warm skiing longer days than ever
You don’t wanna start off comfortable and NEVER oversized , it’s easier to expand than shrink and pad for support
boots your most important piece of equip makes or breaks everyday in the slopes !
