take them to a bootfitter and ask them if you think they're the right boot for you, if they're not try and return them.

Im sure there will be OK. Not had Head boots before normally Salomon Boots or Rossi's Thought I would give them a try since they are on sale.

Boot fitter in EB recently told me Head boots are large volume and suited for wider/bigger feet, hence why no good for my narrow feet.

boot fitter in EB was wrong!!! i've got small feet that are really narrow and my Head Raptor fit great as they're based on their race boots. depends on which model it is - raptors narrow, vector mid fit and edge big old wide buckets.
you should have gone to see a proper boot fitter - buy cheap buy twice my old ma used to tell me!

Yeh, If they dont fit I can send them back. im after some good bargains, the only unfortunate thing is that I need to do it all over the Net due to my location and lack of German language. £280 boots for 135 Bucks

Most important is that they fit...width is 103mm... I guess you will find out soon! If you have any doubts with them try asking around for a boot fitter who speaks English, learning a bit of German or going over the border to Switzerland where English won't be a problem although there you are unlikely to get a new boot for that price!

Then so was the guy who fitted my boots, and the guy that hooked me up with superfeet, and my wide ass feet that have no problem in the head boots.....

And love to help out and answer questions and of course, read each other's snow reports.

Maybe I should have expanded my comments, the EB bootfittr told me that Head boots are largr volume, not necessarily narrow, but a narrow foot would tend towards you needing less space within the boot, I would have thought.

MattMattMatt, You've quoted andy'n'netty out of context, he stated quite clearly that not all HEAD boots are buckets, they make several different lasts depending on model. Possibly the EB fitter was describing a particular model of HEAD boot in relation to an alternative from another manufacturer rather than describing the HEAD range in general.
Having squeezed my foot into a pair of Raptors in the past, the last thing I'd describe them is as being a large volume boot.

You know it makes sense.
