John E Posted December 11, 2007 Report Share Posted December 11, 2007 For Deeluxe / Raichle boots, what is the next boot sole length down from 295mm (27 - 27.5cm)? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fin Posted December 11, 2007 Report Share Posted December 11, 2007 Easy. All Deeluxe boots are in 10mm increments in sizing. So next one down from 295mm is 285mm, then 275mm, etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John E Posted December 11, 2007 Author Report Share Posted December 11, 2007 Thanks Fin. Larry the Bootfitter tells me that my 27 - 27.5 boots have too much volume for Thermoflex liners to take up the difference. So, I assume that I want 26 - 26.5 shells?

fin Posted December 11, 2007 Report Share Posted December 11, 2007 Correct, next one down is the 26-26.5 shell. And Larry is correct, trying to use liners to "fix" the wrong size shell does not work. People always try, but have yet to see it work. You have to have the correct shell from the start. Have you done the shell test yourself?

John E Posted December 11, 2007 Author Report Share Posted December 11, 2007 Fin - yes - with bare feet in the liners with my toes against the front, I have about 2 fingers behind my heel. The bigger problem is that I have narrow (B width) feet - so a liner has to occupy a lot of volume. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Surf Quebec Posted December 11, 2007 Report Share Posted December 11, 2007 I changed my boot this year, went from AF600 size 27.5 (299mm) to Track700 size 26 (289mm). My feet measure 26.5 cm If you have 2 fingers without liner, the boot is too big. Go with 1 finger. I almost went for the size 25. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
