Mondo boot sizes

[C.R.420]

what is the difference between mondo boot sizes and regular sizes? for example.. is there a diff between "30.0" and "30.0 (momdo)"? help me out, i am trying to buy new boots.

 

[whoneedsaname]

isnt mondo just like the "ski boots sizes" like you said 30.0 and regular is just like your shoe size...

i dont know how this is gonna look. here goes nothing...

well that doesnt make sense. i have around a 11/11.5 american shoe size, but my boots are 31, or 310mm. the "mondo" number is just how long the boot sole length is in centimeters.

 

[rus0sell]

mondo doesnt have to do with mm or anything at all. A good way to reference it is to add the two mondo numbers together to get the american size. So a 27 mondo size would be a 9 shoe size, becuase 2 + 7 = 9. A 27.5 would be a 9.5 american, and so on. So a 11.5 would be a 29.5 mondo size

 

[sherLocke]

my boots are 31. and right on the side it says 310mm. i'm pretty sure i'm correct.

 

[Elife]

31 is cm and 310 is mm

mondo=cm

regular shoe size is based on a very obscure system involving the length of the kind of england's knuckles when placed side by side.

mondo is much easier to understand, but normal is a lot more accurate, which is why companies like Lange don't use mondo.

adding the digits in mondo to get the regular size will only work up to size 30

 

[hemlockjibber8]

i cant remember which company it is. but one of them doesnt actually have a 30.5. it goes from 29.5 to 31.5 with a thicker liner for the "30.5". so basically once you pack out the liner, your skiing in a 31.5 instead of a 30.5 like you should be

 

[sherLocke]

i knew it, mondo does = cm

 

[mattwalker]

i always remember it like this, if its less than 30, you add the 2 numbers together to get your ski boot size...

so 27.5 = 9.5 (2+7+.5)

 

[patg]

half and full sizes are the same shell, different liner.

 

[switched]

You may be right because I have 29 which are regular size 11.

 

[=nick=]

noooo it doesnt my langes are size 26.5 but the sole length is 308

 

[sherLocke]

/\crap it must vary from boot company to boot company then, sometimes it's just coincidence.

 

[hemlockjibber8]

its measuring the inside of the boot not the sole length

 

[CooksCorner]

WHAT!

 

[hemlockjibber8]

you have to change the commas into periods. so 24,5 is 24.5. do that for each number and it makes sense
