SOLD: Almost new Deeluxe Indy 28.0 hardboots (Thermoflex)

Post by Crosbie » Thursday 8 February 2007, 19:32

I recently bought a pair of Deeluxe Indy 28.0 with Thermoflex liners.

Unfortunately, after half a day's riding I realised I should have got size 27.0 (because of heel lift - my feet are 276mm long). These 28s will suit feet from 280-289mm.

The place I got them from won't let me exchange them because I've used them (even though only about 4 hours). So I have to sell them.

For a quick sale I'll accept 210€+shipping (about 30€ I think).

The liners have been molded once, but have umpteen remolds left.

The boots also have Recco labels:

Sorry for intruding, but I'm afraid with thermoflex the story for you will repeat with 27.0 Indys. 26.0 SB325 are too long for my 27.3 feet (with thermoflex, of course), and SB shells are narrower in the toe area than Indys. Try the shell without the liner before buying: If there is more than 1.5-2cm free space longitudally and more than 0.8-1cm on the sides, the boot is too big for you. The perfect thermoflex fit requires 1-1.5/0.5-0.8cm of free space lenght/width respectively (between the shell and your foot).

Thanks xyxx. You're the second person to tell me that even 27s may be too big.

I will give this matter some more thought. I will definitely check the free-space before committing to my next pair of boots.

I had about 2-2.5cm of heel space in the 28s. Possibly 3cm. Not 100% sure. I did a finger test and couldn't get 2 fingers, just 1.5 fingers.

I did ask my bootfitter as to whether the 28s were my size, but he just said it was possible they were too big, but couldn't be certain.

about Indy

Hello Crosby. I bought pair of Indy 27.5 and One of my feet don't feel
good in that kind of number (27.5). So, I was riding for 10 times and feel
bad in 27.5,My mondo is 28.5. May be we can change the boots each other?
What number on Your outer shell of boots?

Hi Uldis,

The boots have already received at least one bid on eBay now, so they HAVE to be sold via that auction.

Having had four other people take pains to persuade me to try Mondo 26, I've now bought a pair of 26s (yet to arrive).

If they prove to be too small, I'll send them back, and then I'd go for 27s.

So, I can only really suggest you consider bidding on the auction, e.g. 140€+30€p&p.

Well I bought Raichle 325Ltd in 2001 size 26,5 - but my size is 28 - I fitted without problems (thermoflex liner). Now I start to have the shell a bit tight but they are still good.

It does seem strange then Ohawa, as to why they put the wrong sizes on boots...

It's frustrating being forced by eBay to put boots in the size 28 section when they should be in the size 30 section.

:roll:

Let's say that there was not much choice at that moment and the as far as I could fit, I simply took them - and the price was attractive as well, 150E for a brand new pair of shoes
