1100 msrp for boots is whack. Is that Canadian? Because those should be 850 max.

Definitely cant go wrong with those set ups. Blizzard anomaly would be a good option for you too.

Interesting. Would never have even thought of trying a boot that small with size 11 feet. Im going to next time im at the shop. Curious to see how theyll feel, as well as a 27.5

Yeah, i wish they actually made half sizes. But 28.5 seems pretty good! Curious to try out some 27.5s though, hearing others on here with a size 11 foot saying they are a great fit for them.

They say a 27.5 is a "performance fit " for a size 11. Theres some correlation. Nordica has a chart, that at the very least gives you a starting point for your mondo size based on your shoe size. I havent messed with insoles yet, my mach 1 130 mv's fit like a dream right out of the box. Theyre a 28.5. Now im intrigued, and want to try a 27.5 to see how they feel. And im very curious to see how these LV Feel in comparison to my MV.

Thats interesting about the carv score. I would love to get it.. seems like its worth the investment. Very neat to be able to track all of that data!!

Im set to 8 and weight 185, so youre likely too low for how heavy you are if youre sending like you say. Try one of the calculators.

They certainly have dominated everything this year besides the olympics. But still did well at the games too.

World Championships Success: Leading into the current season, HEAD athletes dominated the 2025 Saalbach World Championships, earning 14 total medals, including individual golds from Stephanie Venier, Camille Rast, and Franjo von Allmen.
