Boots with the smallest footprint

Hey all,

I’m a little concerned about the boot overhang on my current setup. While I think I can get away with what I have currently, I’m thinking it wouldn’t hurt to try and shrink my boots down a bit to be safe.

I know a few different companies offer “shrinkage” or whatever they like to call it. Is there one brand or model in particular that is known to have a smaller footprint than the others?

I’ve heard that Salomon has one of the smallest, along with Burton!!!!!

I can’t verify this for sure though as I don’t wear either!!!!!

I do know that my old Vans had a smaller footprint than my current NIKE’s though!!!!!

Off to the shop with thee, Tills!!!!!

Burton SLX. One of the smallest footprints around (and the best boot on the market in my opinion).

Lano will back that up!!!!! 

Lano has really weird feet.

That said, you’re completely right. While having a small footprint and technically being an awesome boot, it might not work for your foot shape. It works for some, not for others.

“has”, “feet”?????

Hahaha thanks gents.

I’ll head down to my local and see what they say. I just wanted to ask because I’m pretty sure they don’t stock Burton. They do have some DC models I was keen to look at.

THE best boot on the market.

Yeah, except for Lano and his weird feet.

I forget, Tills, what boot size are you?

My Burton Freestyles are a size 12.

You know what they say about guys with big feet….....

Big boots.

Always steppin in shit?????

At the higher sizes, the Burtons are super small on the outside. The Burton size 14 compared to a Vans Aura is about a cm smaller, if not even more.
