I usually shoe size 43 or 44 depending on the manufacturer. By choosing the 44 (10 GB), I was convinced of being comfortable with a pair of not very thick socks (ski socks are not necessarily thicker). I just received the boots and they are too small; I must return to the Amazon (problem without return system) ... and go buy from ??? (No advertising, especially since I do not know yet in what I'm going shopping) because I'm leaving in a few days skiing in the little snow there was in resorts and I fear to do not to receive in time if I ordered from Amazon the same, but in size 45. I think we have to choose at least one additional size. I think the ideal would be 1.5 + I put 3 * because the shoe seems to mean well design ... and, of course, I have not tested ...
