1. What Is MondoPoint Sizing?

MondoPoint is the standard measurement system used for ski boots, based on the length of the foot in centimeters. For children's ski boots, we typically add 1 cm to the measured foot length to allow for growth and proper sock thickness.

2. How To Measure Foot Length

Proper measurement technique:

1. Have the child stand barefoot on a piece of paper
2. Mark the longest point of the foot (heel to longest toe)
3. Measure in centimeters
4. Measure both feet and use the larger measurement
5. Perform measurements in the afternoon when feet are slightly larger

3. Importance of Proper Ski Boot Fit

Details: Properly fitting ski boots are crucial for control, comfort, and safety. Boots that are too large can compromise control, while boots that are too small can cause pain and cold feet.

4. Using The Calculator

Tips:

• Enter the child's foot length in centimeters (10-30 cm range)
• For growing children, consider sizing up an additional 0.5 cm
• Always try boots on with ski socks before purchasing

5. Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: Should kids wear thick socks with ski boots?
A: No, one pair of proper ski socks (thin to medium thickness) is sufficient. Thick socks can actually reduce circulation.

Q2: How often should kids' ski boots be replaced?
A: Typically every 1-2 seasons as children's feet grow quickly.

Q3: What if my child is between sizes?
A: For beginners, size up slightly. For more advanced skiers, size down for better control.

Q4: Are there different fits for different brands?
A: Yes, some brands run narrower or wider. Always try multiple brands if possible.

Q5: When is the best time to buy kids' ski boots?
A: Late fall/early winter for best selection, or end-of-season for best deals.
