Brendan, where do you live? Good advice here. I loved the Head boots for sure, it was just that the Atomics fit better and that is what its all about (HEAD plug instep was too high). A boot that is too big can't really be made smaller, lifts, shims and such are filler and that's not what you want. Most Plugs are going to be race oriented and narrow. Atomic Racetec CS is a wider forefoot boot but I am thinking more Head or Nordica or even Salomon Falcon's. You really are going to need to try on with an expert fitter. It would be great if you could get to HH's shop. Rule of thumb, 2 sizes below your street size but each manufacturer is different. For instance, my Atomic is a 26, but sole lenght of 304. Head's 26  has a sole length of 310.

Cinderella? 'zactly ;D
