I think plenty of room. I'm 8.5 and felt room for toes. (You want snug boot to hold your ski edge!) Come and try before you buy! I used for 2 trips to Colorado, so used about 10 times. They are very warm so I never bought the battery for them. Think you can find online. There is a Hike/Ski lever on back of boot. This is definitely an above average boot with all the technical things in it.
The following is how it was described.
The Alpina Elite 130 is a ski boot that some say fits short and tightly for a wide last. The boot has a narrow-fit toebox, forefoot, and instep.
Side-to-side moves were rewarded in the form of fat trenches. It was stable at speed and offered plenty of edge grip and power on hard and soft snow alike. Testers thought the thick liner robbed the boot of some of its quickness aptitude but on the flip side it made for a shock-absorbing ride through off-piste chop. The hike mode is easily actuated (you can even do it with a ski pole tip) and provides an adequate range of movement. Testers said the boot is on the heavy side for the category
