Ok so I went to see Les. He confirmed that I have 'monster feet' - about 10 1/2 " = 27cm circumference at the ball (although I am only average in height and weight). This is actually 'off the scale' in terms of non-custom boots. Gam for example has widths of A, B and C (increasing by 1/4 "), whereas I would be an E. Anyway I tried the C width Gams and they felt OK. If necessary (after I have tried them on the ice) Les could push them out to a D and then I would only be 1/4 " short. Anyway he said that the measurement of a foot and the boot width don't always correspond (ie it is how a boot feels in practice that counts, not what the foot measures in theory) so I may be ok with the C out of the box. Unfortunately he only had a B in the 0095 and a C only in the more expensive model. So I have ordered the C in the 0095 and have to wait for them to arrive. Anyway I think I have made a good choice. I also tried the Belati and they felt awful. Thanx to all for your help.
