Dear All, Mondopoint requires the measurement of your foot, in the socks you intend to wear with this shoe or boot, in millimetres from heel to toe and then from side to side from the base of your little toe to the Knuckle of your big toe. My measurements are 297 millimetres and 103 millimetres. The Mondopoint system then suggests that you round these up to the next number ending in 5 or 0. For me my Mondopoint size is then expressed like this 300/105.
This extract is from http://fastest-way-to-lose-weight.bestinformationabout.com/weight-loss/what-size-ski-boot-do-i-wear with my emphasis. It is essential to buy a ski boot according to the size listed on a ski sizing chart which are available online or in any ski shop. Some charts will be different than others depending on the model of the boot. To choose a ski boot from an online retailer, you will need to use a ski sizing chart. Ski boots are sized using the Mondopoint system. This measuring system is based on the metric system. When using a ski sizing chart, you will need to know your foot size. Trace your foot on a piece of paper. Then, use a tape measure to measure the distance from the front of your toes to the back of your heel. Record the measurement and compare it to the list of measurements on the ski sizing chart. Match your measurement with the same measurement on the chart. It will then match your measurement with the right size ski boot you will require. At http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shoe_size#Mondopoint they say: Mondopoint The International Standard is ISO 9407:1991, "Shoe sizes—Mondopoint system of sizing and marking",[2] which recommends a shoe-size system known as Mondopoint. It is based on the mean foot length and width for which the shoe is suitable, measured in millimetres. A shoe size of 280/110 indicates a mean foot length of 280 millimetres (11 in) and width of 110 millimetres (4.3 in). Because Mondopoint also takes the foot width into account, it allows for better fitting than most other systems. It is, therefore, used by NATO and other military services. [edit] * The so-called "metric conversion", which is really an to inches or "anti-metric conversion" seems totally unnecessary in this context!
