Replying to What are the options for a boot that is 1-1.5 too big?

Title says it all. I made a purchase on some K2 Recon’s last year and after my first full day of skiing, my feet were killing me.


the boots are 27.5 and I wear a size 9 shoe. Which leaves me at about 1-1.5 sizes too big. I’ve been interested in seeing how the patriot footbeds liner sleeves do in an attempt so not buy a new pair of boots.


any suggestions? Or should I just anticipate buying a new pair of boots with a pro boot fitter?


thanks
