What size ski boots should I buy?
Use the sizing chart linked below to get a general idea of your ski boot size, but keep in mind that personal shoe habits — like sizing up — can make charts misleading. Ski boots are sized in mondo point, which is simply the length of your foot in centimeters, and there’s no true half sizing — 26.0 and 26.5 are typically the same boot.
Do you offer boot fitting services?
Yes — at The Ski Monster we specialize in professional boot fitting. Every pair purchased includes our fit guarantee, so we’ll work with you until the boots fit the way they should for the life of the ski boots for any boot purchased in store with one of our boot fitters.
How long do ski boots last?
Most ski boots last about 80–120 days on snow before performance and fit noticeably declines. To extend their life, always air them out and let them dry after skiing, keep the buckles closed when not in use, and store them in a climate-controlled.
Do ski boots come with heat-moldable liners?
Yes — all the boots we sell feature heat-moldable liners. Some respond better to heat than others, and many also have moldable shells. Most ski boot shells can be stretched or ground to match your foot shape, while certain models can be fully molded in our specialized ovens for a customized fit.
