Foot size for Deeluxe 325

Post by **tohass** » Wednesday 7 January 2009, 19:36

I'm going to order a pair of Deeluxe 325 from Internet and have no possibility to try them out first.
My feet are 280mm long and 100/105mm wide and wonder if I should have size 28, 28.5 or 29?

Anyone with a pair that could let me know which size you have on the boots and the size of your feet?

I would say that take 28 with thermoliners.

My feet are 25,8 cm and 26,2cm I have mondo 27 because I have a huge arch in both feet. So it all depends if you have 'normal' feet. But if that's the case take mondo 28 or 27,5 (this is mondo 28 with a mondo 27,5 liner, the last one if your feet have low volume, especially in the heels)

I belive I have normal feet but maybe less wide than normal which I believe is the same as low volume.
I have been trying different skiing boots to see what size I need but it's very different from one manufacturer to another so that didn't help me at all.

So you don't think the 27,5 will be too short?

Outes shells are only for full cm sizes.

The new thermoliners in the new Deeluxe boots aren't called thermoliners anymore. Those are (chinese or taiwanese)thermofit liners and needn't baking in the oven anymore. They are set to your feet in the boots when they are getting warmed up by your own bodywarmth. Thermofitliners are only available in rounded sizes so 26, 27, 28 and so on. The standard liners are available in half sizes. So a mondoboot 28 could have a 27,5 liner. I find the new thermofitliners crappy, especially when outside temps come above zero. I am swimming in it then, and the heelhold is getting worse then as a result of your body warmth and the liners get soaked up, but that's just me, may be others have other experiences. So an advice on your mondo here is difficult. So I had say go for the 28, and if possible get real thermoliners (no thermofit). If those boots are too wide, you always could take a custommade foamliner in your boots (lifetimefit). Or order them with blue tomato and ask them if you could send them back if it isn't the right size. Phone them, they are nice people to talk with.

Attention, the shell increases in size on .5. So 28 and 28.5 is the same shell. Therefore I would assume the liner in the 28.5 to be 28.5 size and also being in the 28 model.

This is the same for all skiboots, please pay attention!!!!!!!!!
In fact the only company having different size jumps is burton (at least for softboots, I don't know about the old Burton hardboots=, where the size of shell goes up with each .5 US. So US 8 and US 8.5 have the same shell!

With feet being 280mm I would buy Mondo 27.5 and see a bootfitter to get you in there. On the other hand 105mm is pretty wide for your feet length (when using the 325 which is very tight in forefoot). If you have no good bootfitter around I would get the 28.5 with thermoflex. (the thermoflex shrinks down to your footsize on baking anyhow).

So thermoflex is still optional? It's still on the site but not default anymore for any boot.

Deeluxe boots are only sold with standard or thermofit liners.

My feet are 29cm long and I bought a pair of track 325 with thermoflex liners, size 29mp.
They are very thight but, after baking, they feel comfortable while surfing.

Please keep in mind that these are my first pair of hard boots

The grey/white ones are called thermoflex liners. The new dark ones with spiderthreads are the so called speed liners/thermofit liners = only bodywarmth is needed. At the site I see they have changed the name of the speed liner in thermoflex liner, naugthies

Post by **dr. Zoidberg** » Friday 9 January 2009, 20:05

they also say:

100% mouldable liner (with Deeluxe TF oven)

I'm no expert, but I baked mines and it worked.

pokkis - you using thermoflex liner same size as your feet? How long it keeps tight?

Post by **Hans** » Friday 9 January 2009, 20:49

........... the guys from Blue Tomato told me that the backing of those speedliners isn't neccessary but could be done (was told me 1 year ago when I bought track 700). Nice you like those liners. They hold moderately in the cold and poor in warm temp, just my 2 cents.
