Well, the person's real but it's just a made up name, see?

All MP 27 boots are going to be adult boots.

From experience with two teenage boys, now is probably not the time to buy a pair of adult ski boots. They won't last him for long.

Anyway, snowHeads is much more fun if you do.

had the same issue as you, the biggest ski junior ski boots are 26.5 but the adult boots are pretty heavy, which is an issue. I bought some Salomon Quest Access 80. (80 flex). FYI my son is argent standard in the ESF fleche and chamois... that is, good skier but not ski club level, he takes 28 mondo point and weight... 50 kg !

Thats what I did for our son.
He was much taller at that age though but don't think it makes much difference if your son is all legs, as the taller adult boot would be better.

@ipmdfm, plenty of "youth" race boots in 70-110 flex made in 27.5,(youth race boot is an adult ISO Norm sole and a depending on size a slightly lower cuff
be very wary of anything too tall and too stiff as his body isn't developed to use
it yet not the best time of year for finding a race boot as most sell very early in the season or over the summer
