ShivermanI’m currently riding some 26.5 full tilt boots and I treated myself to some full tilt b and e’s but they are size 28.5 since they were the last size available in the store. I’m wondering if I can wear them without getting injured in the park or anywhere else. Any tips or recommendations for my situation?

BrotherBHonestly dude, boots are like 3x more impactful to your skiing then your skis. *(most park skis are similarly constructed and shaped). Having a good fitting boot is number 1 bro, like it just had to be fulltilts for what fucking reason. Other brands make amazing boots, don't be a sheep.
Hopefully ur feet are still growing or ur pretty much fucked.

ShivermanI bought them because yes my feet are still going to probably grow and because I want them to fit me for a long time. I know it probably wasn’t the best idea but I’m probably just going to wait until I outgrow my boots I’m riding rn
GloryHoleGaryQuestion guys. I have a two inch peen so I bought some XXXXL RHINO ELEPHANT condoms at the store. Think they will be okay?

tominiemenmaaSo that's why all the freeskiers wear at least XXL. They're just being reasonable. Myth = busted.
(On a more serious note; you want your boots to fit as snug as possible from the shelf. You'll want to visit a boot fitter as well. Boots are by far the most important piece of equipment, they can and will make a HUGE difference in your skiing.)
Gourdreturn them bro. why.
the time when your foot is bigger than 26.5 and smaller than 28.5 is gonna suuuuuck. as everyone else said, go to a boot fitter man

jps2.0this is why pro model boots aren't the best idea
-I bet if the B&E boot was a supper narrow boot liek 96 last, wannabes would still buy it
PsychicMigrationSo you had the right size on your feet and decided nah lets get shin bang and slide around in something way to large.
ShivermanNo I’m still riding with my 26.5’s but I’m thinking of either using them next season if my feet grow or go see a boot fitter
SwervoMan I wish the B&E was narrow
SwervoSince we are all talking about boots, I have a question as well. I have been riding 28.5's for a year with no toe bang or discomfort whatsoever. I am now on the market for some new boots and cannot decide if I should get 28.5's or 27.5's. This is because I've had my foot measured at multiple shops and and always measure 27.5 and I have a bit of wiggle room for my toes in my 28.5's (I heard this is bad). However, I have skied 27.5's and they felt way too tight in the toe area and I hated it, but I also did not heat mold them or do any punching. The last thing to consider is that my skis are mounted with pivots for a 28.5 boot and I don't know if I can make them compatible with a smaller boot without a remount. What do you think I should do?
muffMan.I think you should go to a bootfitter

r00kieI'm going to guess OP is about 15, got into skiing in the last couple years, and is really jazzed about it. All of us have been that guy. When I was that I age I bought the cheapest twin tips the internet had to offer. The House's own brand Teton. Absolute trash ski. But twin tips so cool right?! Anyway, let this be a moment of learning OP. Your gear is an investment. Don't chase what is perceived as the cool brand or the bargain option. Get what is best for YOU. These boots due to the size issue are far from the best for you.
NickmalyshThat the most insane thing I read in a while, switch to snowboarding, boots question will be out equation
jprene8Unfortunately not true. Like yea there’s less wiggle room with ski boots in terms of having a decent fit out of the box at least in my experience. But snowboard boots need to fit usually just as tight and my be heat molded and all the other stuff for the same reasons as ski boots. Especially since most snowboard boots are much softer and pack out relatively quickly having a good fit is super important.
NickmalyshI agree, i have both, however chances of injury muck lower with improperly fitted snb boot

ShivermanHaha I used to snowboard but switched to skiing
