They are adjustable so I would not worry about over give try them on the largest settings if they are comfortable tight and they over give then your safe because you know they can be tightened. (the buckel settings not the shortest clip over)
Take them up on everything they offer, the hour in Leeds is a great idea, wish everyone did that.
You should be okay.

My advice- buy them snug but not painfully so. Buy them in plenty of time, then wear them in round the house, or in pre- season ski lessons, to 'bed them in'.
Otherwise, you may run the risk of extremely painful feet and have a miserable holiday. We dont want that. The boots will eventually get slightly more loose, but lets face it, nothing you cant compensate for, with thicker socks.
I have size 5 (UK) feet, but so wide that I need a size 10 (UK) shoe. The boots I bought crippled me on ...

I have size 5 (UK) feet, but so wide that I need a size 10 (UK) shoe. The boots I bought crippled me on my first couple of pre- season sessions but luckily, they have been fine since. Don't do it to yourself- any fool can be uncomfortable!

re: Boots

buy the closest possible and wear them 10-15 hours one hour at the time in the house but walking with them not just sitting infront of TV.
Snug wrap but not painfull at the beginning.
There are half sizes in Ski boots.
say 26 and 26,5 are with the same outer shell but the volume on the 26.5 is bigger-not the lenght
(less material in the inner boot for wider fitting).
Size does not matter as a number.go by the feel.

when you close the clips hit the heel few times on the floor -this will bring the heel back.Then when you lean forward you should feel toes just moving and not touching the front.When you lean back-you should touch the front but not squash the toes.
Is burning sensation inder you feet after 1 hour wearing maybe need to purchase and moulded inner soles.100% improvement .be passioned and do the home work(fitting before you fly to the ski slopes)
