 Poster: A snowHead
|
@noodlehat, tbh it doesn't promising in terms of the shop. So there was no customisation? Footbed?
Reason I ask, is yeah it could be wrong size, equally it could be the boot just needs customising. Although that usually works better in terms of punching out.

As an aside is there difference in the half Mondo sizes? Ie 27 Vs 27.5? I read previously there's not? Is it just the liner being thicker/ thinner but same shell? |
I believe that is correct - same shell ; maybe a different foot board/inner to change the size

Well, the person's real but it's just a made up name, see?

@olderscot, thanks, yeah I think it's at least 25mm but haven't got accurate way to measure really. I've emailed the shop but they're a 2hr drive from home so not ideal!

27.0/27.5 is the same shell, same liner and either a thicker insole in the 27.0 or the same insole and a volume reducer shim supplied in the box (many brands now size the boot on the box as 27.0/27.5 and provide the volume reducer)
either way unless you have a very big heel instep perimeter 25mm is going to be on the generous side for anyone (there are exceptions to the rule but they are not many)
i really does sound like the boot is too big but without someone seeing it and confirming anything else is guesswork

Depends on the brand really. It's always the case that one shell fits two sizes, but that breaks down differently. Tecnica for example has one shell for 26.5/27 and the next size up for 27.5/28. So 27 vs 27.5 in Tecnica are indeed two different shells and sole lengths. Most other brands do 27/27.5, 28/28.5, etc.
