I have a pair of "vintage" late '80s La Sportiva "walking on the moon"/tested by Jeff Lowe hiking boots. thing is, i don't have the box they came in and have no idea what size they are (i believe they are somewhere between a 9.5 and an 11).
is there anyway to figure out the size of a boot? would i measure the footbed, the sole, the inside of the boot or what?
danke

Measure, in cm, the footbed, or inside of the boot
then use a conversion chart for mondo size (most ski boots) to US street shoe.
26cm = 8ish
29 cm = 11 ish

There is absolutely no tag anywhere inside the boot or printing on the upper inner liner? May only list a euro size and be something like 39 -44 for that size range.
It's not so much the model year, it's the high mileage or meterage to keep the youth of Canada happy

no tags...seem to think that they used to have the size stamped on the inside shin area of the boot, but that's long since faded.
at any rate, insole measures 28cm/11 inches. thinking that makes 'em about a 10 - 10.5 in US sizing.
thanks for the input.
now to see if anybody is interested in buying 'em!
