So I live 500km away from the closest kite shop and would love a lil advice!
Just ordered some North Franks UK 7-8, I have a 25cm foot and the boots seem to fit well (b4 molding) but ive heard of people hurting toes if you catch an edge and wondering if I should go the UK 9?

When the boots on and my heel is right back in the boot my toes dont touch the end (just) few tight spots but I'm guessing that can be molded out.

Also any tips for heat molding?

Thanks guys

if they fit well now, and it sounds like they do, then definitely don't go for a size up. you're far more likely to have problems with a boot that's a bit too big than one a little small.

as for moulding- if you really need to change the shape then wear them in a warm bath or spa for a while. but a few sessions on the water and they should be good
