So I bought a pair of boots off ebay. The Soft Rossi lights. They were really cheap and brand new. Well they were a bit too small. (I think I read here they come a half size small after I won.) No bigger sold them to a friend. So we were going awaylast weekend and being a now person I wanted my new boots. So I go to the local sports store. I get the same boots in the next size up 27. After the 26.5's these felt great in the store. I was in there for awhile walking around. Well of course I had to pay like $100 more than I did from my first ebay ones.
So we go to Austria and it's great. the weather, my new skiboards and boots! Woohoo!! Well after the 2nd day my feet really start to hurt. My boots are now feeling too big, how could there be such a big difference in the half size, I think to myself. Well upon taking them off, I look on the underside and it says 27.5!!! The box and the little stickers on the boots said 27! So they were mislabeled. I'm soo pissed. I can't return them either b/c returns just don't happen in Italy. Dumb me, though I worked in a shoe store in HS, should have known to look at the boot itself!!
