BrandonHG1983 Posted December 12, 2010 Report Share Posted December 12, 2010 Being a poor snowboard instructor I've been useing ski boots to ride ever since my Burton Fires cracked out. I want to make the investment in a new pair of Hard Boots. Useing the sizeing guideline on bombers site it's suggested that I order a pair of size 26. My burton fire boots were size 27.5 and slightly tight. I wear a size 9 or 9.5 street shoe depending on the brand. My teleboots are size 26 and too tight. Any help would be great! I can't decide if I should stick with the sizeing chart and try a 26, or go with a 27. I think I'm going to go with the Head stratos pro.

tex1230 Posted December 12, 2010 Report Share Posted December 12, 2010 THIS HAS NEVER BEEN ASKED BEFORE!!! :smashfrea:smashfrea search first next time. Sizing charts are useless. measure your foot in cm - that is your mondo size. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bora20 Posted December 13, 2010 Report Share Posted December 13, 2010 My street shoes are 9~9.5, but my actual MP size is 26. This is the perfect length. My UPZ boots were a bit tight in width, but perfect in length. I say were because I went to a bootfitter yesterday and he stretched them out for me in the mid foot. They fit perfectly now. My soft boots are also MP26. They are tight, but perfect. Last year I had mens 10 (MP28) soft boots and they were comfortable in the store, but much too loose on the hill. Now I know why... Go measure your foot at a ski shop using an actual foot measuring device. Mine came in at L26.7/26.3 and MP26.0 are a perfect fit. Trust the numbers...and use the search ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Arnaud Posted December 13, 2010 Report Share Posted December 13, 2010 Brandon My street shoes are also 9.5 - 10 and I use mondo 28 head boots. Some years ago I tried Stratos in MP 27.5 but it was definively too small. Note that Head's shell size change from 27.5 to 28. I tried also UPZ RC10 and ... 9.5 is perfect for these boots (the shell has the same length as Stratos 28) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
