closed toe boot sizing

This question is for people who have closed toe boots and also snowboard. Most people say that snowboard boots should fit so your toes just touch the front of the boot, should a closed toe wakeboard boot have a similar fit or did you get them a little bit bigger?

On a wakeboard binding your toes should touch the liner but not the hard plastic on the toes. Try on a pair and youll see what i mean by liner and hard plastic.

my Shanes has the same fit as my Burton Ruler... my toes touch the end but are not cramed against it...

I'm worried about this too.

I had '06 Watson's, and now I ordered 07 CT Watson on same size (9-10).

I tried a couple of weeks ago a friend's pair of shanes 10-11 and my toes barely touch the end, i'm worried my 9-10 would not fit.

By the way, i'm a shoe size 9.5

my Shanes are 9-10 and I'm shoe size 9.5... so I'm pretty sure the fit will be perfect... be sure to mold them before you start worrying... immerse them in hot water for at least 5 minutes then put them on pushing your heel as deep as you can(opposite of cramming your toes in the front of the boot) lace up and let cool down for 15 minutes... you'll obtain best heel hold down when riding and no pain from toes in the end of the boot...

I know snowboard boots pack out a lot, so i always bought them SUPER tight, so that my toes would push into the liner. They would hurt the first 4-5 times of riding, but by the 15-20 day of riding they would fit like a glove. I dont know if wakeboarding boots will pack out that much though. good luck.

Drew, what binding are you looking at? I just bought some '07 3DS large that is supposed to fit 9-11. I'm 9 1/2 and my toes are in the liner and close to the end. I can't see a size 11 in there.

I just got a pair of 07 Shane CT and they were a little tight at first, but just break them in and they fit great. My foot is a size 10.5 so i went with the size bigger and im glad i did. I believe they are XL
