How do women's DC "Balance" snowboard boots size?

Question

I heard DC snowboard boots run a little wide-- my last boots (Northwave) had the WORST heel lift and I def don't want that again! Looking to buy the women's DC Balance boot, should I go with a 7, 7.5, or 8??? Also considering Rome Memphis boots. I usually wear a 7.5 shoe & heel (but with regular street boots and "6-inch dancer shoes" I'm an 8.) My foot with a snowboard sock on is 9.5 inches long, from heel to the tip of my big toe---Really don't know if that helps... but thanks for any help or advice! = )

Answer 1

DC's are usually true to size. Try them on first! Walk around, see if they come with heat molding (probably will--if you get it, move your feet a lot when they're being made). Your toe should just barely touch the end of the boot at rest. Go to an actual store and try them.
