@wild-cherry I wanted to know if the Ride insanos in size 9 and 9.5 are the same?

Thanks for posting this question @whitmore24 

I would have thought so, but this came to my attention yesterday:

It seems Ride has built a different last for each half size!  Kudos to Ride for that! 

A lot of boot manufacturers just use the the same size shell for a given size and a half size up, and then just use a lower volume liner for the half sizes.  

This is good to know, I might have bought a size 26 Insano shell and tried to fit my aftermarket liners into them.

And despite this rep's reluctance to recommend an aftermarket liner, I strongly suggest replacing the liner.  Snowboard boot liners are crap compared to ski boot liners generally.  I like the UPZ Flo liner, available at UPZboots.com, but Jasey has suggested I try a stiffer Intuition PowerWrap and I might do that next season.

I'm just slaying...
