barryj Posted January 6, 2023 Report Share Posted January 6, 2023 Doesn't Deeluxe Track boot shells sizing overlap? Meaning isn't the shell for a mondo 27 the same as a shell mondo 28...it's just the liner that's the difference in size......right? My thinking is I'm currently a mondo 28, but thinking I might could go mondo 27 with a thinner liner to take up the 1/4 average heel lift I got. I imagine this size overlap really helps cut down production costs! ...........anybody got the specs of what the produced shell sizes are??

BlueB Posted January 6, 2023 Report Share Posted January 6, 2023 No. 27 and 27.5 are the same. 28 is 10mm longer shell. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Since my 28 shells have heel lift, going down to a 27.5 with a thinner liner might still fit and I'd loose the heel lift.....in theory! I'm going to try some Intuition C and L pads to see if that will decrease my heel lift on my current Mondo 28 Intuition Power Wraps/ Mondo 28 425 Pros.......but I plan to buy new 425's (just shells hopefully) anyway.

BlueB Posted January 6, 2023 Report Share Posted January 6, 2023 Better to switch to UPZ, probably... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't/don't think my heel lift was significant but my 425 shells are 5 or 6 seasons old and I average 100+ days a season on them ......so with the instep buckle popping open more frequently got me on this train...plus my wallet has an itchy trigger finger! . So new 425 shells, maybe down a size will do! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe.........but I like my 425's, so getting newer and newer color way won't disappoint! If I was to switch I'd go MS but I got way to many boards that all have step-ins!......but I might switch 1 board to standard bails if I found a once in a lifetime MS deal on a C shell!

Coming from Track 700, I just had my second day in my new UPZ RC11. Before the bootfitter had to widen the shell at the inner and outer ankle bones, which helped a bit. Now I have problems with the original liner, causing me pretty strong pain at the shin of the back leg. In the meantime I had to switch back to my Track 700 with Palau liners. No pain anymore. So I'm not yet convinced if "I should have bought UPZ!" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
