    It's possible but it's like putting a size small 50/50 frame on a size 13 Roces skate.

    Is it possible to cram a size 11 liner into the 8-9 shell? Sure, if you fold the front of the liner up.

    Is it possible to then fit a size 11 foot inside that liner inside that shell? I highly doubt it.

    Bad idea. Just embrace your foot size.

    why would you try and size down when you are perfect with the 11 shell size?

    i'd only see the point of sizing down in the case of if someone who was a size 13 didn't wanted to skate a size 15 valo shell. so the did a toe cut and bam. good reason to size down.

    on the other hand, you should have no issue.

    on a similar topic

    when the time rolls around to get a new pair of skates, i am definitely sticking with nimh...

    HOWEVER

    i am also definitely purchasing a size 7.5 boot and cramming a size 9 liner in them

    it's going to be the absolute maximum threshold, the first week is going to be hell

    but it's going to be worth it

    aside from smaller skates always looking better, i like having boots that have literally stretched to accommodate my foot and it helps with my precision

    i'm really excited for when that time rolls around but its not gonna be anytime soon

    It's hard but I do it with an 8.
