Fischer MX9 Boot (Size & Quality)

[JohnnyFeet]

I bought a pair of Elan Magfire 10 Fusion and thought the Fischer MX9 boot would match perfectly with it. I understand that boots should fit perfectly and that I should demo them before purchasing, but with me being in the Southeast, it is very difficult to find any ski shops around. Let alone these Fischer boots. So I might purchase these online based on the feedback I receive.

For any of the skiiers out there with knowledge about this boot, I'd appreciate if you can let me know the following:

a) Does this boot run true to size? I fit a Nordica 26.5 pretty well and wanted to know if it'd be safe to buy this boot in the same size.
b) Would you consider this a high quality boot?

I appreciate everybody's input.

1. Did you read about the boots in skiing magazine?
2. Buying boots blind online is like buying a Bulgarian bride online, sight unseen
3. posting in the appropriate forum will save you lots of grief.
4. wait till you take a trip and see a bootfitter in a mountain town. no question.
5. find the right sub forum for this kind of question, or you will suffer jihad.
