jones88 Posted March 6, 2013 Report Share Posted March 6, 2013 Hi there, I am looking to try find myself a pair of alpine boots, size 27.5 ish? I am new to riding plates but I ride at a high level with soft boots so im not looking for something at an entry level but something I can progress into. Hoping someone has a not too expensive option sitting gathering dust somewhere? Also if anyone that reads this has any advice in trying to get my hands on a pair of boots it would be greatfully recieved, as I hear not going down the 'brand new' route can be difficult. Thanks Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MTB_DH11 Posted March 6, 2013 Report Share Posted March 6, 2013 Many used options available. But, you must choose a boot that is correct for your type of foot (width, height, etc). This is a popular size. Slopestar has a pair of Burton Carves I think in this size. I will ask him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks Mike Mike, welcome to the dark side :rolleyes: of Hard Boot(HB)ing. You are in the right place. About boot size, first make sure your feet is on the narrow side or wider side? If you skip this you can end up going thru pain staking experience and $$$ and time. I wan't you to have happy ending switching to HB. There are many shells on the market but they are made to specific feet build. For example most Burton that I know are made for narrow feet. DEELUXE TRACK or AF model for wider feet also HEAD STRATOS PRO Here are reliable tech stuff for your home work finding your right boots BOMBER Tech or you can find detail comparison chart of Deeluxe boots in YYZCanuck Tech info.
