KeithB Posted February 21, 2009 Report Share Posted February 21, 2009 UPZ Limited Worldcup (Virus-branded version of the UPZ RTR) Worn for only one run; just didn't work out for me Excellent (nearly new) condition 25.0 mondopoint: These run a little big; I measure at a 25.5 MP and they fit correctly Thermo liners are available (view post). I intended on selling the liners separately, but I will throw in one pair of your choice (if desired) with the purchase of the boots. $200 plus shipping Complete with stiffer tongues and canting tool (photo) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ohiomoto Posted February 21, 2009 Report Share Posted February 21, 2009 I will say this. I about threw my RTRs in the trash after one run! Those liners are hard when you first put them on. I thought someone clamped my feet in a box of 2x4s. The good news is after a few days they fit and feel great! Good luck with sale. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KeithB Posted February 21, 2009 Author Report Share Posted February 21, 2009 Thanks for the feedback, ohiomoto. I actually rode these with Palau liners, which altogether felt amazing in the shop. I've been through several pairs of boots and liners, though, and I'm certain that my issues aren't going to be resolved by these boots. Happy riding.

Peter Godlewski Posted February 23, 2009 Report Share Posted February 23, 2009 I am interested. How big the shells are?I have thermo liners 26.5 MP and i wonder if can use them with those boots. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KeithB Posted February 23, 2009 Author Report Share Posted February 23, 2009 Hi, Peter. Thank you for your interest. The shells are a 25.0 MP, and they do run a little big. I considered putting a 26 MP thermo liner in them as well, but the 25 MP liners were the only ones in stock, and they seemed to offer the right fit. I suppose it all depends on the size of your foot. I'm a 25.5 MP. Hope that helps. Please let me know if you have any additional questions. Thanks! Keith Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peter Godlewski Posted February 24, 2009 Report Share Posted February 24, 2009 I wear 26.5 MP and i have thermo liners of this size . I am trying to figure out that those will fit your boots.Thanks.Peter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KeithB Posted February 24, 2009 Author Report Share Posted February 24, 2009 If you measure at 26.5 MP, then I would assume these would be too small for you, unless you're looking for a really close fitting shell. What boots are you currently riding? How do they fit? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peter Godlewski Posted February 27, 2009 Report Share Posted February 27, 2009 I ride Richle suzuka they work just fine and the shells fit the thermoflaxes of the size 25 MP-27.5 MP . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
discojuggernaut Posted February 27, 2009 Report Share Posted February 27, 2009 I have a 26.0 MP foot. I wear 26.5 shell Raichle SB324's with a 26.5 thermoflex liner. Would these UPZ's fit me? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KeithB Posted February 28, 2009 Author Report Share Posted February 28, 2009 I have a 26.0 MP foot. I wear 26.5 shell Raichle SB324's with a 26.5 thermoflex liner. Would these UPZ's fit me? Hi Disco, Well, we're at a disadvantage here without you being able to try them on. I also apologize; I just now noticed I had 25.5 MP in the title of the post (which has now been edited). The correct size, as originally stated in the post, is a 25.0. Now regarding the fit, are you looking for something that's more close-fitting than your Raichles? Like I mentioned, I'm a 25.5, and these 25.0's fit me well. I know some of the folks here generally choose a size smaller than they measure, and since these run big, perhaps they would fit you. But that depends on what kind of fit you are looking for. Calling all UPZ riders: Anyone out there with a 26.0 MP foot who's riding a 25.0?

Peter, What's your mondopoint (your foot, not your shell)? Do you measure at a 26.5? Keith Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Calling all UPZ riders: Anyone out there with a 26.0 MP foot who's riding a 25.0? Keith Yeah i could definitely step down in size from the Raichle's. Just got a custom footbed a couple weeks ago and it works like a charm. I think the conventional wisdom that a footbed will shrink your MP may be true. I measure 26.0 on the dot with bare feet. Havent tried with the footbed yet. I have a good amount of space in the toe box on my raichles, but i don't buckle them too tight, maybe about 2/3rds of the way. I would like to go tighter and would like to feel the UPZ's, but i don't want to go psycho on my feet. Anybody that can answer the foot size MP to boot size MP would be a savior.

ohiomoto Posted February 28, 2009 Report Share Posted February 28, 2009 I have 29.5 RTR and I measure out at a 29.5. The RTRs feel plenty long to me. Plenty of room in the toe box. Could I drop a shell size?? Probably, but I'm not positive. My guess is that there is enough length in the boot, but that's just a guess. If you need a little more room, you can stretch the shell. I wouldn't be too concerned about the liner. most of the time a 25.0 and 25.5 will use the same shell. Plus I think the liners have stretchy material around the toes. Keep in mind the liners are rock hard when you first put them on. They will hurt a little, but once broke in, they are pretty nice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tellurideboarder01 Posted March 7, 2009 Report Share Posted March 7, 2009 Are these still available? Also, can these accept fin-tec heels? Thanks in advance, Mitch 970.729.1504 masolow@earthlink.net Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KeithB Posted March 7, 2009 Author Report Share Posted March 7, 2009 Hi Mitch, Thank you for your interest in the boots! I just left you a voice mail and e-mail. Yes, the boots are still available. Also, UPZ indicates that the boots are Intec compatible, so I would be confident that the Fin-Tec heels would fit as well. Keith Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KeithB Posted October 30, 2009 Author Report Share Posted October 30, 2009 Hello everyone! These boots are still available. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me. Thanks, Keith Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
