energyrail Posted January 31, 2013 Report Share Posted January 31, 2013 My feet measure 100mm wide max. In about the mid foot. Some days my feet hurt for a few hours after I take them off. But 75% of the time they are perfect. So if my feet were any wider I would need shell work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scrutton Posted March 25, 2013 Report Share Posted March 25, 2013 Any resolution? You might want to consider custom insoles and liners. I have both, and now have barely any pain.

leeho730 Posted March 25, 2013 Report Share Posted March 25, 2013 I would like to ask a question. I'm thinking of purchasing UPZ 24, I have size 25.5 feet with mid-wide toe box area (100mm). The liner will be zipfit gara for lowest volume. Have been using Raichle boos 24 with no problem. Have anyone downsized UPZ boots? Does it work? Thanks!

scrutton Posted March 25, 2013 Report Share Posted March 25, 2013 I downsized two years ago, and it was the best decision I'd made in snowboarding. Do a shell test if you can before you start down this path. I then went with custom formed insoles and zipfit liners. The insoles are great. The zipfits are a mixed blessing. More comfortable than the stock liners, but much harder to get into, as the cork moves around when you are trying to get your feet into the boots. My latest strategy is to take the liners out of the boot, put the boot in walk mode, put liners on feet, then put liners+feet in boot. This works well. I've tried lots of other methods and this works best; and I've chosen to do this rather than revert to the stock liners. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kieran Posted March 25, 2013 Report Share Posted March 25, 2013 my feets are 30.2 and 30.5mm, and i'm in m29's. deeluxe thermo liner has a nice fit and feel in the shell, but just not quite enough volume in the cuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The liner will be zipfit gara for lowest volume. Have been using Raichle boos 24 with no problem. Have anyone downsized UPZ boots? Does it work? Thanks! My feet measured 27.0 and 26.8 at the beginning of this season. I'm in the 287mm shell, which according to the UPZ charts I've seen, is a 24.5-25.5. My heel is very low volume and I've got some significant toebox work done to the boot. There seems to be some common confusion about UPZ sizing, even to the point of the company charts not reflecting the same information as the boxes the boots come in. Not sure if this has to do with customer confusion, poor housekeeping on a distributor's part, or something going on in house. Do a search here and you'll find 4 or 5 recent threads covering the topic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
