Woods I have answers for you,
When it comes to Alfa sizing, you should look here first:
http://telemarktalk.com/viewtopic.php?f ... fd4#p24009
Alfa US conversions can be off, its much better to choose according to your EU size, by first measuring your foot and adding about 1.5cm, did you do that? and does it get you to 47?
I myself noticed the Kikut was bigget than the Skarvet equivalent. I assumed that was because they used the same last but the boot material and insulation being so thing and flexible, i fit in a 41 whereas its a 42 in the Skarvet.
This is one of the main reasons why I recommend North Americans buy the Alfa boots on the continent, where they can affordably return them if the sizing is off.
When you say the boot sole lengths of your Alfa and Alaska are the same, are your talking about the Rottafella undersole or the shitty removable innersole? Never of those unfortunately are reliable indicators of fit.
Actually, manufacturaturers regularly use the same Rottafella or Vibram sole for 2 consecutive sizes.
Yes, what the hell! Sorry.
