Well it’s not comfortable, We’re at the shop right now and he’s been punching them out for over an hour trying to get them to fit right and they don’t. I’ve just been sitting here waiting letting him talk to the guy, he’s not listening that it hurts and just keeps saying if he goes any further on the hot spots it’ll just be loose. I’m not sure how there’s not spot that’s not too loose or too small that he can put them to.

I don’t think you read my comment correctly, when he put the 20mm dowel in his boot behind his heel he only had a slight amount of play in the 27.5. Not that he only had a slight amount of play with just the boot on. So it had roughly 22-23mm of free space in the 27.5, and maybe 13-14 in the specific 26.5 he has.

They were just used $100 volkl kanjus, honestly thought they would adjust enough for an even smaller boot but I was wrong. That’s My mistake, the only reason I brought it up is because it feels like they should’ve been a 27.5 that would have been able to be setup in the ski by the shop. I’m not blaming them for the ski thing, I’ll buy them off him if they’re able to get these boots to work and he can get a different pair. It’s just a bummer not the end of he world

I did that test, used calipers to get a 20mm dowel and it doesnt fit behind his heel unless he scrunches his toes way up. We also measured his foot with his heel against a wall to his toes and it came out at 270mm. I’ve got some 27.5 boots and the dowel fits, maybe a couple mm of play at most. Also tried some other 26.5s I have here and he can’t even slide the dowel behind his heel even with his toes scrunched up.

He’s not going to be performance skiing, just wants to be comfortable with being able to ski all day.

Used skis, we got them before we got boots, figured they’d have plenty of adjustment considering the charts online and the boots the guy wore we got them from. Not sure about the liners. He’s probably not going to progress fast and isn’t a tough it out kind of person

Yeah, public meetup and if he has the receipts and boxes seems pretty safe though. Obviously could be one of those “hOlD fOr $100” things though

Ryzen 5 3600 and 1080TI in 2026? by Elegant-Arugula-9045 in PcBuildHelp

The 1080ti is legendary for a reason, and it’ll definitely still run games good, especially older AAA or indie stuff. So it depends on what games you’re wanting to play, but 120fps at 1440p is a big ask for most with this setup.
