alexeyga Posted January 17, 2007 Report Posted January 17, 2007 In a search for an ideal boot I'm getting curious to try some Burtons. Just wondering on their sizing... Generally it's suggested to get Raichles/Deeluxe 1 size smaller than your mondo size. Heads should be matched... I went through both of them and can confirm these recommendations... What about Burtons? Quote
BobD Posted January 17, 2007 Report Posted January 17, 2007 My feet measure 27.4 and I ride 26.5 Furness boots. They were very tight at first, but packed in and I'm able to wear medium thickness socks with them now. I love the boots, but won't wear them if it's much below 15f. Not warm liners. BobD Quote
Derf Posted January 18, 2007 Report Posted January 18, 2007 To repost what I have posted in another thread, my feet measure 26.3 mm and I wear some size 27 Burton Furnace. I rode one day in size 26 Reactors and I returned them because they were so tight I had to remove them after every run (unbuckeling them was not sufficient). I have wide feet, but not extra wide: I can wear wider D shoes and boots, but not narrow D. I also have a high instep. Quote
jdgang Posted January 18, 2007 Report Posted January 18, 2007 My foot measures at 26 and I ride 27.0 winds/reactors with stock liners. I had old 26.5 reactors(blue) and they where too tight and 27.5 reactors(blue as well) and they where too big. The 27 fit my feet perfectly. They go on smooth and I only have to buckle to the first position until i warm up then its up to the second and I can ride in them all day long. My burton soft boot size is 8.5 Quote
BobD Posted January 18, 2007 Report Posted January 18, 2007 my feet are rather average. I seem to be able to buy stock ski or alpine boots and they fit like gloves. I generally go down one size and after boots have packed in, I have a great fit. I count my blessings. I never have to crank the buckles, which seems to be the source of a lot of problems. I like the lateral stiffness of the Burton boots. BobD Quote
alexeyga Posted January 18, 2007 Author Report Posted January 18, 2007 Thanks guys! You seem to ride 0.5 larger than your mondo size, so at 28 I should be safe with 28.5... Wish I could try some... Quote
philfell Posted January 18, 2007 Report Posted January 18, 2007 No don't go bigger than you measure. In my experience Burtons tend to be right on with sizing. Go with what you measure. Quote
wavechaser Posted January 21, 2007 Report Posted January 21, 2007 My feet measure exactly 28 cm, and I ride 29.5 liners in 28.5-29 shells...fit is perfect. :) Quote
alexeyga Posted January 22, 2007 Author Report Posted January 22, 2007 I measure 28 on one foot and 28.3 on the other... I guess I'll be safe in 28-29 shells with 28 liners... The only problem right now is finding some, should have bought your Winds Rick, took me too long to think... Quote
