How to Calculate Ski Boot and Snowboard Boot Length?

Are Snowboard Boot size and Ski Boot Size the same Size as Snow Boots. Or is there a Web-Based Calculator. Or How can you calculate it by your self.

How to Calculate Ski Boot and Snowboard Boot Length?
Most Alpine, Telemark, and Randonee boots are measured in Mondo size. An easy conversion trick is to add the two digits in the Mondo size together and you will roughly get the US men's shoe size.





Mondo 29: 2+9=11; Modo 26: 2+6=8. Mondo 30 is 12, 31 is 13, etc, etc.





This will get you in the ballpark...each boot may fit a bit better depending on it's style and manufacturer.





XC ski boots are mostly measured in European sizes. Conversions for this are sketchy at best. One company will put one size andother uses some other equation...it's messed up. I've sold XC boots for years and no two companies are the same.





Snowboard boots are mostly sized according to US shoe sizes. If you take a men's 11.5 shoe...you'l most likely take a men's 11.5 snowboard boot.
Reply:I think its about the same. I have done both (ski and snowboard) this season and the people at the resort gave me size 10.5 for both. My shoe size is 10.5.





I think its about the same size as snow boots. It should be the same as your regular shoes. You can also try them on and if it doesnt fit, get a different pair.
Reply:The rental shop employees will be able to figure out what's right for you.





Failing that if you don't recognize the numbers they're saying about size look in the tongue of your favourite shoes, it'll say US size and EUR size and so on, pick one of them and try matching tha tup to the boot.
