Iwona,
Everyone’s foot is different. My friend and I both wear size 26.5 ski boots, but I wear a 9.5 shoe and he wears a 10.5. The best way to tell if you have the correct size boot is to do what is called a shell fit. Remove the liner from the shell and then slide your foot into the empty shell. Stand up straight and slide your foot all the way forward till your toes touch the front of the shell. Next bend you knee forward like you would when you ski and have someone put there hand down into the space between the back of the shell and your heel. You want about a finger and a half to two fingers of room in that space. Any more than that and they are too big.
Kevin
Paul,
Salomon used to use some goofy sizing on their older boots so I understand your confusion. The important number is the 344mm which tells me that the boot is a size 30.0 or a 30.5 (both size share the same liner and shell so there is no real difference). Look for either of those sizes. If you found that boot comfortable some suggestions on replacements would be the Salomon Mission RS 8 or the Dalbello Aero 75.
Kevin
Ted,
You are correct that 10.8” equals a 27.5, thanks for catching our error. The fact that you wear a 10 which equals a 28.0 and you measure out to a 27.5 is the reason that we recommend measuring your feet. It is very common for people to drop down a size sometimes more in their ski boots compared to their street shoes. I would go with a 27.0 or 27.5 as they are the same size. A whole and half size in a ski boot share the same shell and liner the only difference being that the footbed (the thing that your foot sits on in the bottom of the liner) is slightly thinner (like 2mm) in the half size.
Kevin
Gala,
You should definitely be on a Jr. boot. 70% of the boots that we sell to high school racers are 70 & 90 flex Jr. boots. You are not alone in your situation and you are headed in the right direction to great turns.
Kevin
Mary,
A 25.0 or 25.5 converts to a women’s 8/8.5. Make sure that the boots fit snuggly, your toes should touch the front of the boots when you are standing up straight and come off when you flex forward. Be careful about getting a boot that is too stiff, they will stiffen up a good amount when they are in the cold air outside. Those are the two biggest problems we see with people in the shop when they by used boots is they buy them to big and to stiff.
Kevin
confused . i just measured my foot 11 1/4 inches and i wear a size 12 shoes so what size boot would i wear. i am looking at your Salomon Mission RS 7 Ski Boots 2009 30.5 that are on sale
Hi. I need help. I am trying to buy ski boots for my friend. His foot measures 10 1/4 inches. I am planning to buy him Head Mojo XP Pro boots. Will size 25.5 in ski boots fit him? There is no size chart for Head ski boots and I realize that the boot’s sizing varies depending on a brand. Thanks.

Jim- If you’re 7-year-old daughter wears a size 1 shoe, she will then need a 19.0/19.5 in a ski boot. This is a mondo point size, which basically translates to centimeters. I also recommend purchasing a good lightweight ski sock. This will help make the boots fit better, as well as, wick moisture and keep the feet warm.
Greg- The actual measurement of your foot will give you a different size then your shoe size in ski boot sizing. A foot that measures out to 11.25 inches, or 28.5 centimeters, is going to be a 28.5 mondo point in ski boot sizing. I would recommend looking at ski boots in a 28.5 for the most accurate sizing. A 30.5 may end up being a bit too large a boot for you, and it is important to have the right size boots for comfort, control, and overall enjoyment of skiing.
I have rear entry Nordica ski boots, I have had them for a long time. but recently I tried them on, buckled them and the boots cracked and fell apart. The heels fell right off and the front of the boot seperated from the rest of the boot, this happened to both boots. I was amazed and never heard of such a thing happening. Ehat has gone wrong. I want to get a new pair but see no rear entry boots. Are they still made. These boots when I bought them 20 years ago were very expensive, around 500.00 then. Any advice on this and any on rear entry boots.
Josephine,
Based on the measurement you provided, I would suggest a 26.0. At 10.25 inches, his measurement converts out to a 26.035 measurement, so a 26.0 should do the trick.
I wear a size 9.5 or 10 street shoe, I have a high instep and EE wide feet. Do they make a ski boot in wide widths? I am athletic and have large calfs. I have to leave the top buckle loose so my feet don’t get numb riding the lift. I have rented boots and size 30 seems bearable. I wear a ski sock. Do I just need to loosen / tighten when riding / skiing? Insight welcome as I want to purchase comfortable ski boots. I am tired of trying to make rentals fit. Thanks
My daughter, who is 11, wears a size womens 10.5. What size ski boat should she wear?
Robert,
It is not uncommon for plastics to become brittle, crack, and break over time. I have seen this very scenario many times over the years. You’re very lucky that you were not out on a mountain skiing when this happened. The only rear entry boots that will most likely find these days are for kids. Adult boots have moved on to front entry buckle boots to help accommodate the change in ski technology by allowing more ankle flexion making it easier for one to ski today’s shorter, wider, shaped skis. Now-a-days ski boots are offered in a variety of shapes, widths, flexes, and styles to better suit the user’s feet, ability level, and type of skiing. Where you will really notice the difference is in the fit of today’s boots. Rear entry boots were designed to pull your foot away from the shell of the boot, making it feel plush and roomy. Now boots are design to bring your foot as close to the shell as possible taking away the extra room, making the boots more responsive on the slopes. In addition, today’s boots can be customized to really fit the user’s feet and allow for more comfort and performance.
I would recommend checking out your local ski shop and trying on at least 3 different boots with different flexes to narrow down the right manufacturer and fit. Keep in mind that with new boots, when you stand up straight, your toes should touch the front, but when you bend your knees, your toes should come off the front of the boots. Overall, it should feel like a firm handshake squeezing your foot. You do not want any wiggle room other then in the toes. The idea is to have your foot immobilized inside the boot because any room means that you need to wait for you foot to slide around before you initiate a turn on skis. You also want to be able to flex forward in your boots. Try not to purchase anything too stiff that you cannot flex, or anything thing that is really soft that feels like its too easy to flex forward. New boots are always a fun purchase. Good luck.
Leslie,
Ski boots can usually be taken a size smaller than your shoe size but at 11 you can go with the exact shoe size just in case there is more growth. A woman’s size 10.5 in mondo-point, which is the sizing measurement for ski boots, is a 27.5. This would be a 28.5 in men’s and men’s boots will fit similar to women’s with some extra width and a higher cuff. Hopefully this helps with your decision, happy skiing!
Hi,
I am skiing Nordica Beast X10 mondo 28.5. Normally, I wear a size 10 men’s shoe but it is very tight on the outer side of the boots. Should I look at a mondo 29? or should I look at a wider mondo 28.5 boot?? I couldn’t find the width of the Nordica but I see some boots come in widths over 104mm at the widest part of the boot. What should I do??
Mark,
Do not go up any bigger in the size, accommodating extra width with extra length is a common and widely made mistake in the ski world. What we could recommend from experience would be a Rossignol boot or a Salomon boot as they tend to run a bit wider than other manufacturers. It is recommended that you go with the same size boot as your regular shoe size, or smaller. If you have trouble continually no matter the boot style or brand it would be a great idea to get the boots professionally fitted. Getting boots fitted can be costly but can make all the difference in the world when you are out skiing and your feet are happy for once, you will forgot how much it cost.
We hope this helps answer your question and we welcome any others you may have.
Thanks,
Chris Gorski
Jim,
Boots do come in different widths and shapes. With a size 9.5 or 10 shoe you shouldn’t have to go up to a size 30.0 to be comfortable (equivalent of about a 12.0 shoe). Look at the Tecnica Pheonix 100 HVL. The HVL stands for High Volume Last. These boots run 106mm which will accommodate up to an EE width. You may still need to get these stretched at a shop still but you will have a great starting point. Going to a size 30.0 is not the right answer though. They will feel great in the store but after skiing in them your feet will be slipping and sliding all over and you will not be able to fix these issues with a boot that is just plain to big. You can always make a boot bigger by stretching it or grinding it (essentially sculpting the shell to fit your foot), but it is very difficult to make a boot smaller.
Thanks,
Kevin Palmer
