Ski Boots Size Chart & Mondopoint Conversion

Ski Boots Size Chart

Click your Ski Boot Size to shop

Ski boots are measured on a scale called Mondopoint, which is based on the length of your foot in centimeters. Use this size chart to get a general idea of what size boots you need. Keep in mind that the conversion from shoe size to ski boot size is approximate, and that there are different ways to size a ski boot based on ability level, how often you ski, and what you are accustomed to. We recommend measuring your foot in centimeters for a more accurate Mondopoint size.

The size chart above provides two different Mondopoint fit recommendations for adult sizes:

• Comfort Fit - this is a roomier fit suitable for beginner to intermediate skiers, or those who ski only a few times a season and normally stick to groomed terrain at slow to moderate speeds.
• Performance Fit - this is suitable for intermediate to advanced skiers who ski at higher speeds on a variety of terrain and in mixed snow conditions.

Expert and elite level skiers may choose to size down further to get the most precise fit possible. The tighter the fit, the more control you will have over your skis. This creates the possibility for pressure points and pain – we suggest visiting your nearest evo store or working with a qualified bootfitter if you choose this option.

Ski Boot Sizing Tips

How To Measure Your Mondopoint Size at Home

Using a conversion chart to translate shoe size to Mondopoint works in a pinch, but it's not as accurate as measuring your foot directly. Shoe sizing is inconsistent and people often wear shoes that don't fit well. While most people can walk just fine in a shoe that's a size or two too big, skiing is a more demanding activity that requires greater precision.

If you're unable to visit a professional bootfitter, we recommend measuring your foot using the following method:

1. Place your heel against a vertical surface like a wall with toes pointed outward.
2. Measure the distance from the wall to the end of your longest toe in centimeters. If you don’t have a metric ruler, multiply the length in inches by 2.54 to get the centimeter equivalent.

Your Mondopoint size is equal to the length in centimeters. For example, if the length of your foot measures 26.5cm, your measured Mondo size is 26.5.

How to Size Ski Boots

Just because you measure a certain size doesn't mean you should necessarily buy that size ski boot, but it's a good starting formula for most skiers. Not every skier has the same performance requirements, tolerance for close-fitting footwear, or access to quality bootfitting. Here are some general recommendations:

Beginner/Intermediate Skiers
Choose a boot close to your Mondopoint size, or slightly larger. If it feels tight, keep in mind that the liner of the boot will compress and feel more roomy after you ski in it a few times.

Intermediate/Advanced Skiers
Choose a boot close to your Mondopoint size or slightly smaller, but in a stiffer flex. Pay attention to the width of the boot and choose one that offers a snug fit. If possible, consult with a bootfitter to find the best fit for your foot.

Advanced/Expert Skiers
Choose a boot up to a full size smaller than your Mondopoint size for a precise and responsive fit, along with a stiff or very stiff flex. Sizing down typically entails working with a skilled bootfitter to make the boots comfortable for skiing.
