How to choose the right ski boots - An expert guide

Ski boot size (Mondopoint)

The first thing you need to know is your ski boot size. Their size is expressed in the mondopoint system - a direct measurement of foot length in centimetres. For adults, sizes range from 22.5 to 32.5 mondo.

How to find your size:

1. Place a sheet of paper next to a wall
2. Stand with your weight on your foot and your heel aligned against the wall
3. Trace the outline of your foot
4. Measure the length - this is your mondopoint size

Ski boot last - Shape and width

The last refers to foot shape, not foot size. Each ski boot has a last measured in millimetres, between 96mm and 105mm - this is the width of the boot when it surrounds your foot.

Ski boot categories by last:

• Narrow-last ski boots- a last narrower than 98mm for narrow feet
• Medium-last ski boots- a 100mm last for most skiers
• Wide-last ski boots- a last wider than 102mm

Why the last is important: Choosing a ski boot with the appropriate last is essential for a correct, comfortable fit. Almost all causes of pain result from the foot moving inside the boot.

Ski boot flex - Stiffness and control

This is a stiffness index determining the ski boot’s response and control.

Ski boot categories by flex:

Soft ski boots:

• Below 70 flex for women
• Below 90 flex for men
• Ideal for beginners - comfort and easy control at low speed

Medium-stiffness ski boots:

• Flex between 70-90 for women
• Flex between 90-110 for men
• Perfect for intermediate and advanced skiers - a balance of comfort and performance

Stiff ski boots:

• Flex above 90 for women
• Flex above 110 for men
• For experts - maximum performance, control and quick response

Flex according to weight

Heavier skiers: Can flex a ski boot more easily, so they need higher flex for stability.

Lighter skiers: Can choose lower flex for comfort and ease of use.

How should correctly chosen ski boots feel?

A correctly chosen ski boot should be comfortable but as snug as possible on your foot, as if you were wearing another pair of socks.

Characteristics of a perfect fit:

• No pressure points or pain
• As little space as possible between your foot and the inner liner
• A feeling of security and control
• Comfort throughout the entire ski day

Please note: The fit at the first try-on is not the final fit. After 2-3 days of skiing, the inner liner will expand by up to 15% due to the heat and pressure exerted by your foot.

Adjustable flex

Some models have switches that can adjust the boot’s stiffness or forward lean for maximum personalisation.

Ski Boot FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions)

How do I know whether the size is correct?Ski boots should fit snugly without pressure points. Your toes should lightly touch the front when you stand upright.

Why is the ski boot last important?The last determines how well the ski boot fits the width of your foot. An incorrect last causes discomfort and loss of control.

What flex should I choose for my level?Beginners: soft flex. Intermediates: medium flex. Advanced: stiff flex. Weight also influences the choice.

Can I use the boots for both skiing and snowboarding?No, ski boots and snowboard boots have different constructions and are not interchangeable.

How long does it take to get used to new ski boots?2-3 days for complete adaptation, as the liner moulds to the shape of your foot.

Why do my feet hurt in ski boots?Possible causes: incorrect size, unsuitable last, incorrect fastening or circulation problems.
