5. Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: Should I size up or down for ski boots?
A: Never size up - ski boots should fit snugly. The calculator adds the minimal necessary space (0.5-1cm) for comfort.

A: This calculator determines length only. If you have wide feet, look for "wide last" boots or models known for wider fits.

A: Most do, but some may use EU sizes. Always check the brand's specific size chart for conversion.

Q4: Should I try boots on before buying?
A: Absolutely. This calculator gives a starting point, but professional fitting is recommended.

Q5: How tight should new ski boots feel?
A: They should feel very snug but not painful. Your toes should lightly touch the front when standing straight.
