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 sizes.

2. How Does the Calculator Work?

The calculator uses the standard ski boot sizing formula:

The extra 1 cm accounts for:

• Ski socks thickness
• Room for growth (especially important for children)
• Proper circulation in cold conditions

3. Importance of Proper Ski Boot Fit

Details: Properly fitted ski boots are essential for control, comfort, and safety. Boots that are too tight can cause pain and circulation issues, while loose boots reduce control and can lead to injuries.

4. Using the Calculator

Tips:

• Measure foot length in the evening when feet are largest
• Wear ski socks when measuring
• Stand upright with full weight on the foot being measured
• Measure both feet and use the larger measurement

5. Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: My child is between sizes. Which should I choose?
A: For growing children, round up to the next whole size to allow for growth during the season.

Q2: How often should I measure my child's feet for ski boots?
A: Measure before each ski season as children's feet can grow quickly.

Q3: Are all brands' sizing the same?
A: While Mondopoint is standardized, some brands may fit slightly differently. Always try boots on when possible.

Q4: What if my child has wide feet?
A: Some brands offer wide-fit models. The length calculation remains the same, but look for "wide" or "comfort" fit models.

Q5: Can I use regular shoe size to determine ski boot size?
A: No, ski boots use a different sizing system. Always measure actual foot length in cm for ski boots.
