Sizing for Salomon Ski Boots for Women

Women should select gender-specific ski boots. Women's feet and calves are typically shaped and sized differently than men's. Women's feet tend to be smaller and their calf muscles are shorter and bigger and lower on the leg. Additionally, females' heels are narrower compared to men. Salomon ski boots accommodate gender differences and offer custom-fit sizing technology for women.

  1. Salomon Ski Boots

    • Salomon offers different types of ski boots for women, including big mountain, park and pipe, all mountain and race boots. Big mountain boots offer the intensity of race boots with specifications for off-piste skiing. Park and pipe boots are designed to handle jumps and tricks, while all mountain boots offer comfort and custom-fit liners for all-terrain use. Salomon race boots for women offer precise performance and custom, tight fitting for high responsiveness. Each type of Salomon skis is designed to fit differently with specific sizing for its intended use. When sizing for a pair, expect to go up or down a size depending on the style and model of the ski boots.

    Mondo Point Sizing

    • Salomon uses a sizing chart that includes mondo sizing--a universal system that refers to the length of the boot's inner sole in centimeters. Salomon sizing charts also include measurements for U.S., Japan, U.K. and France. To determine U.S. women sizing from mondo point, add the first and second digits, then add the decimal point. Add 1 to the result and the sum is the U.S. women's size. This is a good reference for choosing a range of sizes for fitting boots. You should still test and fit footwear for good measure.

    Width

    • Aside from length, consider width when sizing your Salomon boots. Factor in your skills and ability level when looking at width sizes. The more advanced the boot style, the narrower it will be. Salomon's women race boots such as the X3 RC CS offers a custom fit with a narrow width for reinforcing forward support and improving skiing stance. Salomon offers ski boot sizes fitting widths up to B+ to D- for a whole range of sizes.

    Custom Shell

    • Salomon offers custom-fit shell technology and boots specifically fitted and designed for women skiers. Boot styles such as the Salomon Quest Women Big Mountain Boot feature custom-fit liners with conforming thermoformable tongues for tibial comfort. Other sizing features include women's liners and specific women's cuffs. Women's liner is a sizing feature with a specific height and cuff adapted to fit women's cuffs and legs. The specific women's cuff feature is an anatomic cuff that provides lower rear support.
