Radar Vector boa sizing advice

[davemac]

a friend asked my help to get a (Senate) ski package for their son. His foot is a 10-11. Wondering which size boot would be better choice? The Standard is 7-11 and XL is 10-14.

Likely to mount with a RTP to a 69" Graphite Senate. Thanks. @brooks ?

I'm a 10.5 shoe size and had one of the original Vector boots. I got the standard and it worked fine. Personally I'd tend towards a tighter fit than a looser fit but that's just me. I think you'd be fine with the standard unless his feet are on the wide or tall side. You might be able to find a good price on a clearance one somewhere though where you'd be more likely to come across a leftover XL. Good to have options I guess!

How old is he; is his foot likely to grow more soon?

I have had many sets of vectors and my foot is 10.5 and the standard is perfect for me

i use that binding - i'm size 11 foot and it's wide and use the 10-14. It's easier to get on and you can tighten it up. i tend to run my top laces pretty loose cause I want come out if i fall.

I'm a size 10.5-11 and I had a Standard Vector that didn't last long. It was not easy to put on, always felt tight until my foot was in. My toes were a couple of millimeters over the front of the foot platform. This winter I had the opportunity to try a Standard size and an XL side by side. The XL felt much better. If you can, you too should try them both, but if you have to choose, I would go with XL.

Thx for feedback. The kid's feet are done growing. Sounds like either size would work. I'll ask his mom if closer to a 10 or 11, and go from there. Thx again.

I'm a 10.5 and find the standard totally fine. I don't think I'd be able to get as good a fit tightening down the XL.

 

Also to note, the radar dry entry neoprene is ridiculously easy to get into on the dock.

The standard fits me very well with a size 9 foot. I love the Radar Vector boots with aluminum plates, super comfy, no soaps required anymore, come out in a hard fall, and still get good course performance out of them. I use them on a Connelly GTR.
