Ironbird Posted January 14, 2010 Report Share Posted January 14, 2010 Just got a new pair of old Deeluxe suzuka mondo 29.5, rode them once and they are way too big for me - heel lift and shin bang. So need to replace them, qusetion being how far to downsize. My feet measure 29.3 and 29.4 cm respectively, and are narrow (B width). By doing the finger test on the shells with the suzukas - I get a full 3 fingers and a little extra to spare. Any ideas on how far to downsize for a better fit before i buy another pair?

Ironbird Posted January 14, 2010 Author Report Share Posted January 14, 2010 A race fit is probably a bit extreme for me. Just want to be comfortable crusing around for the day, while getting rid of the heel lift and especially the shin bang. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buell Posted January 14, 2010 Report Share Posted January 14, 2010 This is great thread about a good sampling of foot measurement and Deeluxe. I have a narrower foot and I am comfortably (but snug) wearing a 24 mondo. I measure 26.3 and 26.5 flat on the floor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lonbordin Posted January 14, 2010 Report Share Posted January 14, 2010 I think if you read between the lines of the lines of the race fit post and the bomber fitting guidelines: http://www.bomberonline.com/store/boots/Sizing_boots.pdf I think you will find your answer.

martyagt4 Posted January 15, 2010 Report Share Posted January 15, 2010 Just a tick over 25 and I'm in a 23 here. 24 was just too sloppy for me. Finger test for me results in just a hair over one finger. Track 325. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
