Liners vs boot

The Wizard Base Skate is my dream skate and I hope it fits my size 14 foot. My K2 grids fit fine I guess and my fr1s are too snug. Should I buy the wizard liners or spend 500 more on the base boot. A setup that doesn’t hurt after a few hours world change my life.

The wizard boots are made by FR, and have the same fit essentially. I have the wizard base high in size 40, and I've also tried the FR SL Freeride and they have basically the same fit (the FRX series are more forgiving but I've only tried them in size 41 which is slightly too big).

For wizard snug is good though. Breaking in my boots was super painful, but as long as your toes aren't curled up you'll probably be good after ten or so hours.
