1. What is Mondopoint Sizing?

Mondopoint is the international standard for ski boot sizing, based on foot length in centimeters. It provides a more precise fit compared to traditional shoe sizing systems.

2. How Does the Calculator Work?

The calculator uses the standard ski boot sizing formula:

The additional 1-1.5 cm accounts for:

• Thick ski socks
• Foot expansion during activity
• Proper blood circulation

3. Importance of Proper Boot Sizing

Details: Correct ski boot sizing is crucial for control, comfort, and injury prevention. Boots that are too tight can cause pain and circulation problems, while loose boots reduce control and responsiveness.

4. Using the Calculator

Tips: Measure your foot length in centimeters while standing, wearing the socks you'll use for skiing. Enter this measurement to get your recommended mondopoint size range.

5. Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: Should I size up or down within the recommended range?
A: Beginners may prefer the larger end for comfort, while advanced skiers typically choose the smaller end for better control.

Q2: How do I convert mondopoint to US/EU sizes?
A: Conversion charts vary by manufacturer. Always prioritize the mondopoint measurement over traditional shoe sizes.

Q3: What if my foot measurement is between sizes?
A: Round up to the nearest available size and try boots in person whenever possible.

Q4: Do different brands fit differently?
A: Yes, boot lasts vary by brand and model. This calculator provides a starting point, but professional fitting is recommended.

Q5: Should I consider foot width?
A: Width isn't reflected in mondopoint sizing. If you have wide feet, look for brands offering multiple width options.
