tdifan_2003 Posted December 31, 2004 Report Share Posted December 31, 2004 Hi guys, I'm looking for hard boots size 29. My current ones are Burton Reactor are size 28, and it turned out that since I started running, my foot grew up a little :D , as well as my calf. SO now, I need to get a little bigger boots. You could contact me via my e-mail, or thru the forum. Happy New Year! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D-Sub Posted January 1, 2005 Report Share Posted January 1, 2005 make sure you measure your actual mondo size first...you might not actually need that 29! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tdifan_2003 Posted January 1, 2005 Author Report Share Posted January 1, 2005 Well, when I step on the floor and measure my foot, it's a little over 28 cm. On the other hand, my running shoes are size 11 US, 29 cm and feel great. My current Burton Reactors, are 28.8 (27-28.5) shell and the insole says 29, but my toe is touching the front of the insole. What is the recommendation than..... Any input will be veeeery much appreciated :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D-Sub Posted January 1, 2005 Report Share Posted January 1, 2005 If youre a little over a 28 Id say go with the 28 and try to find a moldable liner I used to wear a 28...and am actually in a 27 now! feels fine! Moldable liner is the key you definitely dont want too big, thats fo sure! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tdifan_2003 Posted January 2, 2005 Author Report Share Posted January 2, 2005 D-Sub, That actually has been in my mind for the past day. When I took the insole out and stepped in the shell and bend my knee, there is about 1-1.5 cm free behind my heel. My conclusion from that is that the shell itself is the right size and I need to work on the insole. I'll try to either expand my insole or find another one slightly bigger. I am just wondering if an insole fro a ski boot is going to be OK . Anyway, I'm very happy to have found this forum. A lot of veeeery useful info and helpful people here!

D-Sub Posted January 2, 2005 Report Share Posted January 2, 2005 insole? If you make the insole bigger that takes up MORE room. or did you mean liner? Im talkin the actual inner boot...maybe that is too small? if you have that much room with the liner out, then the shell is pretty much the correct size.

tdifan_2003 Posted January 2, 2005 Author Report Share Posted January 2, 2005 Your absolutely right. I meant the liner. Yes, the liner feels a little too tight at the toes. I just brought the shels and liners to the store where hopefully they'll expand the liners. The only thing I am a little suspicious is that the said, they could expand the shells as well , which is probably possible in width, but deffinitely not lenght. If nothing works, I am still on the market for new boots or at least new Burton insoles. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D-Sub Posted January 2, 2005 Report Share Posted January 2, 2005 you can stretch the shells, yes, in various ways, and I believe slight length adjustments are possible as for the liners...depending on how old they are they might just need to pack out to fit your foot?

They are old but not used too much. If they are able to give me 0.5 cm in lenght, I think, that'll be enough. Thanks for all the help ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
