Sphinx boots for $70.00

So.....I just got these LF Sphinx boots for 70 bucks. Way good deal so we bought them, there are only two downsides....
#1 They were demo bindings, but are practically new.
#2 They are Large bindings and I have size 12 feet....I should wear XL. Large was all they had and my toes just barely hang over the edges.

So my question is.....Should I keep them for 70 bucks, even tho there a little small or should I wait for the 2006 Watsons? Embarassed

Sry in advance for the big pics....

I would keep them, but thats just me. or you could probably go to a shop and try and trade them for XL. but they kind of look used. so...........

are the overlays too tight? you can buy bigger footbeds from lf, right?

Actually, I just had almost the exact same thing happen. I bought some Large Alphas and my feet were too big. One email to Josh Hathaway at Liquid force and he sent me XL footbeds/baseplates to put on them, no charge! Liquid force customer service kicks ass. BTW, when you put on the new footbeds you might need some screws that are about 1/4" longer than the old ones or else you will be torturing yourself getting them on. Good luck.

EBAY!!!!! You could probably make like 80 bucks off of those, since you only paid 70 (maybe more)

I'm in a similar situation as you. I got some Era's for 120, but they're large and I'm a 12, but I have no problem at all getting in and out though, but when I bought them the store rep said if I wanted, I could heat them with his help and mold them to my foot so they'd be semi-stretcged out for my leg, but my leg only.

I haven't had a problem with mine though, and the footpad isn't quite as short as yours though, so I' mgoing to be fine, but you might want to look into this. I believe they dip them in real real hot water and you step into them and hold them on and put it back in cold water or something along those lines.
