The Lowdown with Miles Shaffer Episode #39 : Sizing Telemark Boots From Home

[@2008ahbbjj]

Thank you- i have a pair I never heat molded, turned just a few days then took a long break and have been pondering if I need bigger boot OR WHAT. Excellent refresher since maybe I can put resources towards new ski/binding -yay!

Cheers mate. Clear and concise advice.

Hey team, I just wanted to ask: Do telemark boots fit closer to the actual measurements of my foot (I'm eyeing the Scarpa T2 ecos), because my foot measures at 29.0, but for alpine ski boots I ideally wear 28 (my foot is pretty narrow / rentals always). If they only have half sizes available, my feet wouldn't feel too tight in the 28.5 and super crunched in the 27.5, though I opted for these for the control. Now that I'm getting Telemark boots with no way to try them out, how should I approach this? Should I go for a 28.5? 28.0?

do you think people experiencing toe crunch should size up? I fit my cirspi evo's like i would alpine boots and they crush my toes bloody. had never even heard of toe crunch in 75mm boots.

@Miles Shaffer my feet are 27.5 and my boots are 27.5, I believe it’s the same shell as the 28 boot which should give me some leeway. I did try the 28.5 at the shop but the liner is so thin I was swimming in them. I switched back to 75mm in the meantime. Thinking of trying Scott voodoo’s instead the seem to have burlier bellows

Hey there, I bought a 23.5 TX Pro women's boot 10 years ago. Would I be the same size in the current TX Pro? My foot just measured out at 24.5. So, now I am wondering if I had sized down on the shell on my past purchase. I am not sure what size I should get at this point?
