coyoteposse Posted March 22, 2014 Report Share Posted March 22, 2014 Looking for someone who has long feet like me. I posted that I was looking to get back into carving, but my feet grew two sizes in the last 20 years. So now I'm a US13 0r 30.5. I tried on a pair of used 29.5 and they were putting too much pressure on my toes. Trying not to spend $600.00 on a new pair of boots. So anyone out there with a used pair they want to sell?

coyoteposse Posted March 23, 2014 Author Report Share Posted March 23, 2014 Hi Bryan, Looking on the UPZ site they have a chart that shows 30 being US12.5 and 30.5 being US13. What size foot do you have? Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David F. Posted March 23, 2014 Report Share Posted March 23, 2014 Mike, I have some Head Stratos Pro boots that have only been used once and the liners have never been molded. Size 31.5. Great deal if interested. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coyoteposse Posted March 24, 2014 Author Report Share Posted March 24, 2014 So would those be like size 13 1/2? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

teach Posted March 24, 2014 Report Share Posted March 24, 2014 Looking on the UPZ site they have a chart that shows 30 being US12.5 and 30.5 being US13. To back up lonbordin here: I wear US 13 in all my shoes, and am currently using M28 UPZ (actually, UPZ doesn't use Mondo size. The shell is the "8.5/9/9.5 312 mm" shell). No shell modifications, stock 9.5 liner. Believe it or not, it's not even a tight fit. The interior of the shell is as large as the footbed from my US13 shoes, 305 mm, so any chart that says I need two shell sizes bigger (that's an extra 20 mm) is leaving LOTS of room for a very thick liner. I was using the so-called M29s until recently (10/10.5/11 shell) and it had tons of room (and some heel slip). UPZ have a narrow ankle/heel area so oversizing causes fewer problems, but still... I tried on a pair of used 29.5 and they were putting too much pressure on my toes Put your bare foot in the shell w/o liner to judge. Pressure on your toes could come from a thick footbed, a liner molded to someone else's (thin) foot, etc. Don't judge the shell size by that.

David F. Posted March 24, 2014 Report Share Posted March 24, 2014 So would those be like size 13 1/2? Mike, these boots should fit you if you are a size 13. There is no half sizing in these boots. Shell sizes go up in 8 to 10 millimeter increments, depending on the manufacturer. Example, going from a 30/30.5 shell to a 31/31.5 shell will increase the boot sole length by 10 millimeters. There are no differences in the liners. They are all the same. So a mondo size 31 and 31.5 are one in the same. When you heat mold the custom liner they will fit perfectly. Let me know if are interested. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
