What US shoe size do you typically wear? I'm just trying to avoid what happened to you with no re-course of return or exchange. Looking at the size chart they look close... I will probably go to a local ski shop and see if they have that size I can try. Are they thermomoldable liners? Does $175.00 make it happen? I havent bought anything online before how would you want to get paid? Where are you located? Thanks for your time.
