Have your ski boots fitted by a trained BAC Ski Boot Fitter!
Ski boot sizing uses mondo sizing which is measured in centimeters and corresponds exactly to the longest part of your foot.
Unlike normal shoes, ski boots need to fit the skier's foot exactly.
Salomon website - "It is estimated that 75% of skiers choose boots that are two sizes too big"
The width of a ski boot is referred to as the 'LAST' (measured across the ball of your foot) which is also the widest part of your foot
You should choose your ski boot width/last by taking into account the level of precision you need when skiing:
Choose a boot that is the right width for you, is comfortable and also gives you control of your skis.
If precision is important to you, choose narrower ski boots.
Ski boots that are too wide won't support your foot and controlling your skis will be more difficult.
Flex, the flex rating of a ski boot indicates its rigidity and responsiveness.
Another important factor to consider when choosing your ski boots is the flex or rigidity of your boot.
Flex index is measured on a scale of 60 to 150. The choice of flex in a ski boot is linked to the skier’s ability and body shape.
The higher the skier’s level, the more rigid the boot should be to allow for more efficient power transmission from the legs to the skis.
Skiers of a bigger build will also need a stiffer flex.
Flex index isn't an official standard, so differences in rigidity are found between different brands.
You can adjust the rigidity of your ski boots by loosening the top strap if you want them to be more flexible.
The flex of a ski boot can vary under different conditions :
- Temperature : the plastics used to make ski boots are sensitive to temperature variations and become stiffer when cold.
- So be careful when trying them on in the store where the boots are generally softer than they will be on the slopes.
- Buckle tightness, especially those on the cuff and the strap, influence the rigidity of the boot.
- Age of the boot : as plastics get older, they get softer which affects the flex of the boot.
