Choosing the right size for your ski boots is the most important step to ensuring comfort and performance on the slopes. An ill-fitting boot can ruin your ski day. Don't worry! With this guide and our size chart , you'll be sure to get it right.
Understanding the Mondopoint System: One Size Fits All
The ski industry uses a standard sizing system called Mondopoint . It's the most accurate way to measure your foot for skiing and is based simply on your foot length in centimeters . For example, if your foot is 26.5 cm long, your Mondopoint size is 26.5.
How to Measure Your Foot at Home to Know Your Mondopoint Size
You can easily find your ski boot size. All you need is a piece of paper, a pencil, and a tape measure.
- Place a sheet of paper on the floor, against a wall.
- Stand on the sheet of paper with your heel touching the wall. It's recommended to wear the ski socks you normally wear.
- With the pencil completely vertical, draw a mark right where your longest finger ends.
- Measure the distance in centimeters from the edge of the sheet (where your heel was) to the mark.
- That measurement in centimeters is your Mondopoint size! If one foot is slightly larger, always use that measurement.
Ski Boot Size Equivalence Chart
Use your Mondopoint measurement to find your equivalent in European (EU), United Kingdom (UK), or United States (US) sizes . This chart is a general guide; please note that there may be slight variations between brands such as Salomon, Nordica, Atomic, or Head.

Additional Factors: Last and Hardness (Flex)
The Last or Width of the Boot
In addition to the length (Mondopoint), it's crucial to consider the width of your foot (last). These are generally classified as narrow (approx. 98 mm), medium (approx. 100 mm), and wide (approx. 102 mm or more). Choose one that fits your foot without pressure points.
The Flex or Hardness of the Boot
The flex indicates the boot's stiffness. A lower flex (60-80) is ideal for beginners, while a higher flex (110-130) is for experienced skiers who need more precision and responsiveness.
