Just thinking of a few fit-related questions, but I defer to Jeff's expertise...if you live near Concord, maybe a visit to Jeff would be in order.  |
No, no fitting done at all. They where on sale, I liked them, and they walked comfy.
After your question, I just went ahead and actually tried them on, and took the liner out of the boot itself. Now taking into consideration that the buckles themselves are adjustable, The buckles are in the following order, from toe up.
Toe: First slot
Second: Third slot (in the middle)
Third: Second or third slot (roughly in the middle)
Last (highest): First slot
What I did notice was the liner itself has a big '+' stich in the front, over the toes. After putting the liner itself on my foot, without the rest of the boot, I noticed that it seemed to be 'squeezing' the toes together a little bit. When I wiggle the toes outside of the boot, I can feel the stiching in the '+' rubbing against my big toe, ironically enough, where it tends to hurt/getsore/cold while I've ben skiing for a few hours.
