I concur Bandit.
Went to Ellis Brigham on Sunday in London and to my amazement the guy measured my feet and told me I was a UK Size 8 when I am actually a 10.
Kind of hoping that in resort will be a bit better than that but who knows. See when we get there.

I am sure that they will be tagging along, telling me all the things that are wrong / right with my intended choices.

I am sure that they will give me the support and advice that I need!!!

I have exactly the same problem as you.
My boots felt really loose around my right ankle last season which I broke a few years ago. I agree with Bandit that maybe liners could be changed / remoulded.

I have enough of an excuse now to buy a pair so I am going to in resort in St Anton.

Lets start with snow heads! :)

Might aswell join in now. 8 Sleeps to go. Wooooooooooo hoooooooooooooo.

Got my oh one. She has a nice warm helmet to keep her smiling!

The place: the Mooserwirt - by the side of piste number 22, St Anton, Austria

The time: 3.30-8pm.

The clientele: 1,000 of your new best friends - most of whom are German. 500 are indoors, 500 are on the decking outside, and there's a smattering of Americans, Kiwis and Scandy-types in blue wigs to add interest.

The look: Munich bierfest meets a flash-mob international speed-dating event.

The drink: something big - because it'll be hours before you can fight your way to the bar for the next one.

The high point: joining an impromptu 1000-voice international choir for a tearful rendition of Robbie Williams' "Angels" - which in this place, in this company, suddenly seems very moving...

The aftermath: by 7.00pm the atmosphere is absolutely electric - like the biggest New Year's Eve party you've ever been to. But you need to make your exit quickly, because once the music's turned off (at 8pm) 1,000 people will start looking for their skis.

If you don't go back to your hotel/chalet/apartment and fall asleep fully clothed on your bed, then the evening continues in the Piccadilly/Postkeller complex in the middle of town.

It Really sounds fun ...... :shock:

Finally, you are now floating my boat. Don't do sleep so please tell we're the postkeller / Piccadilly is?

Some where in St Anton :shock:
I sure you will be able to smell it the mix of Stale beer, Sick and Bleach :thumbup:

Not if it is covered up by the smell of old spice
