1. What is Mondopoint Sizing?

Mondopoint is the international standard for ski boot sizing, based on foot length in centimeters. Most manufacturers use this system, where the boot size equals foot length plus about 1 cm for comfort and performance.

2. How to Measure Your Foot

For accurate measurement:

1. Stand barefoot on a piece of paper against a wall
2. Mark the longest point of your foot (usually the big toe)
3. Measure from the wall to the mark in centimeters
4. Measure both feet and use the larger measurement

3. Importance of Proper Boot Fit

Performance: Properly fitted ski boots transfer energy efficiently from your body to your skis. Too loose boots reduce control, while too tight boots cause pain and poor circulation.

4. Using the Calculator

Tips: Enter your foot length in centimeters. The calculator adds 1 cm to determine your recommended Mondopoint size. Always try boots on before purchasing as fit varies by brand.

5. Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: Should I size up or down for ski boots?
A: Generally size down for performance skiing (racer fit) or use calculated size for all-mountain comfort. Never size up more than 1 cm.

Q2: Do all brands use Mondopoint sizing?
A: Most do, but some brands have their own sizing systems. Always check the manufacturer's size chart.

Q3: How tight should ski boots feel?
A: Snug but not painful. Your toes should lightly touch the front when standing straight, but pull back when flexed.

Q4: Can I use my shoe size to determine ski boot size?
A: No, shoe sizes vary widely by brand and country. Always measure your foot in centimeters.

Q5: When should I consider boot customization?
A: If you have wide/narrow feet, high arches, or other special needs, visit a professional boot fitter for adjustments.
