Snowboard Boot Sizing Tips - Never Your Shoe Size

- Your snowboard boot size is never the same as your US Shoe size. This one, very common, sizing error leads to most of the gear sizing mistakes (board, boots, and bindings) in snowboarding. I'll break it down for you and dive into the details of correct sizing.

THIS IS THE ONLY SNOWBOARD BOOT FITTING VIDEO ON THE INTERNET THAT IS FACTUAL
You have taught me more than I've learned in the last 10 years about boot sizing. Now it all makes sense. Now I know my boot size. Now I know what boots and bindings to buy. Now I can let it rip. Thank You
The best sizing video ever ! Loved it. New to boarding . Got my first pair of boots . Thanks a lot for such an informative video . 👍🏾
Hi Randy, thank you very much for this video, now I'm on my 7th pair of shoes and I never heard your tips from seller, it opened my eyes and now my wife will have 1st in her life properly fitted shoes! ;)
Took me 2+ years to realize this, you are right. Your boot size website is spot on too. Excellent stuff
I am SO glad I found your vid! I really had no idea how to buy a boot - the guy who helped me get m initial gear would have been accurate if I had stayed closer to his recs (I overcompensated for my heel bone issues). I can't wait to watch your other boot fit vids! Thank you for taking the time to make the entire series!
Thank you so much. Most vids on snowboard sizing are very cursory and they all just repeat the same info. You go deep. Very much appreciate that. 👍
PHENOMENAL video!! Wow. Extremely informative, well explained and very accurate information!! Thanks Randy!!!
Thank you so much dude, you have helped me so much getting into a pair of boots that actually fit correctly and are comfortable. I understand why so many people struggle accepting that their mondo size is actually their correct boot size. I now have a pair of boots that are snug, super responsive, and have zero heel lift and I do not have to tie my laces tightly. I think most peoples issue is that they are swimming in their boots and have to crank their laces/boa to an extreme degree which causes discomfort and will never eliminate heel life no matter how much they tighten. I urge anyone watching this video to trust the process and have faith that the boots that are a little uncomfortable in the store and on the first few wears will pack out and form around the foot over time.
I bought some used (like 3 times) boots that are quite uncomfortable for me. What do you think is an acceptable amount of time to determine if they fit incorrectly?
Yes. YES.@@AverageYTer
Thank you for this video. Super informative and I've always known this but only in regards to the board not being wide enough . This helped tremendously with finding the right boot . 👌🤘
very very good and informative video. I have to get new boots and since it's been a few days since my last purchase I wanted to see what's currently state of the art. found this video and just have to leave a big thank you here.
keep shredding dudes.
Incredibly generous information, Randy.
This is a decent video! For the others: yes, this is facts! The sizing explained is exactly how it should be done with the snowboarding boots.
Dude this best video ever I wish found this before bought my second pair of Burton boots cause I was sized wrong on the first pair now I’m going see if I got the right size the second time now. wow I’m subscribing right now to you channel and I’m sharing this channel with everyone I know that snowboarders , and new boarders immediately
after 30 years riding (10 days avg a year) im set for 50 days this season, ive just had my eyes opened, thank you.
20 years off pain riding uk 11 then getting measured for running shoes in size 10.5, i moved to 10.5 in snowboard boots, ive had to buy online as no shops sell boots in Ireland. Knowing by current boots are starting to give heal lift, pain and need overtighted, i will need new ones to last this season. spoke to 2 shops in the Uk and they said i needed to size up! unreal, i feel i need to name and same these places for giving bad advice.
tried on my friends uk9 boots and they fitted tight and more snug and more comfortable!! WTF!
after using your process ive just ordered size uk9, 4 sizes smaller than i was wearing and told was my size by snowboard shops in uk.
looking forward to painfree riding and ultimate control.. thank you, thankyou thank you.
Great video, I bought a board second hand and got bindings and boots with it for free, they where the same size is my shoes so I thought it would fit. I just went on a trip of 4 days in somewhat of a harder area, mostly red and black slopes. On blue slopes it was al fine, but on the steeper ones I just could not get any movement going quick and my heel would almost pop out the shoe it would feel like. I tried working on my technique, until realising wearing 3 pairs of sock because they are too big is just crazy. This video helped me try and find the right size.
This Video help me as a unexpiriced very much, thanks for the Great Content 👍🏼
Best vid I’ve seen on snowboard boots!
This video was just amazingly helpful dude. I am getting back into the sport after 5 years off now that i live in a country with incredible snow compared to my home country of Australia. However here in Japan, right at the start of the season, its almost impossible to find large sized boots to try on, so i am taking the gamble of buying what i need from amazon and utilizing the returns policy if needed. This has been such a great help.
Aight dude - i am trusting your video. Just got a pair of Salomon Echo's, i measure 277mm and ordered a size 28cm from Salo; their own size chart said go to 28.5 if you are 28cm, but i decided to trust you over them (their size chart also said measure with socks and says to order a UK 10, when they sell their boots in CM sizing anyway??), especially seeing you on a heap of forums as well giving great advice. I will heat fit them, and i hope they work out for me!
Well i got them, they are TIGHT, but after heat molding them i think we will be ok. Bit tight across the big toe on both sides, but otherwise they feel ok, certainly the first few days on the mountain will be a little rough, but hoping they pack out and flex out a little and then i should be fine. Now that i live so close to the slopes that day trips are super possible i hope a bit of tightness at first will lead to a longer lasting boot.
@@TheRealUnconnectedhow have you been getting on with the new boots?
Do you have a wide or slightly wider foot? If so you might need a boot with a larger toe box area, the DC boots tend to have this
@@derektrott1073 Had about five days on mountain with them so far, so far they feel good, much better than day one. Big toe is feeling better now as the liner has packed down in the toe box, while my toe touches there is no pressure.
Overall i am very satisfied with them, especially the build quality, they really seem like they will last a good few seasons of heavy use.
WOW this is a great video!! Only 333 subs?? You need way more than that!
I wish i knew this when i was buying my boots...
I literally bought 2 new pairs and my second 1 that I thought was my true size is actually .5 MP bigger than I should be wearing. The guy at the shop said that this model fits half a size down but it seems to be already packing out
Awesome video - waiting for the heat molding one!! :)
I really can't believe this fully. My foot measures an exact 10.5 inches on the brannock and with this video I'd have to get a 8.5-9 snowboard boot. I tried a size 10.5 Van's Standard Pro and my toes were squeshed hard.
10.5 inches is the smallest measurement in the range for Mondopoint 270 or size 9 US in snowboard boots. It is 1 mm above size 8.5. A few notes though. A Brannock device does not measure inches. Also, we would need all four of your barefoot measurements as width is the most common issue which with what you are describing. Thanks!
same happened to me....i´m a vans shoe size 10.5 and bought DC boots 10.5 and my toes are hurting from the pressure, wish they were larger
Hey Randy! The 2 best videos I’ve ever seen on sizing!!!!! Can you do the one for the Snowboard and bindings? Thanks.
Hi John, For Sure, I have those and a bunch more planned for this winter. Stay tuned and thanks!
DAmn i wish i had seen this video before buying my boots. i have definitely been overcompensating my too-large boots by overtightening, and it ends up cutting circulation and hurting my feet. Great info!
this guy has a PhD in snowboard boot sizing. legend
My measured shoe size is 9.5. But I generally wear size 10 in both shoe and board boots. I can only wear Birkenstocks in size 9.5, which fit tight initially, before molding to my feet after a few weeks of daily wear.
Burton & Northwave boots fit perfect for me at size 10. My toes slightly brush the front of the boot, without curling my toes. I’ve tried a pair of ThirtyTwo boots, and size 10 made my toes curl with a bit of pain. So, boot brand can vary a bit with size and fitment.
so your toes have lots of room in normal shoes with 9.5 but snowboard boots need size 10? doesnt make sence
Thanks I bought too small a boot due to this advice
This video saved my snowboarding season (and possibly snowboarding as a hobby)
I recently got into snowboarding again after about 13 years (Im 30 now). I got a whole new setup obviously and the guy at my local shop sized my boot as a size 10 (Im a 9.5 mens). The first time I went up, I felt a little awkward on my feet, but I thought I'm obviously going to be rusty, not having snowboarded in over a decade. The next 4 times I went up, I was CONSTANTLY feeling more progressively awkward on my board, catching edges randomly, shit ton of heel lift and foot pain and my legs hurt so much. I was NOT HAVING FUN. I knew something was wrong with my gear. My feet were swimming around my boots and had almost an inch of heel rise
I found this video, measured my feet with the mondo sizing and i sized my boots DOWN to a 9.0 in mens and I went up snowboarding again today...
I immediately had SO MUCH CONTROL, No foot pain, very responsive in my turns, walking around in my boots doesn't drain my energy. I was even able to get back into the terrain park and hit some jumps and easy boxes and had SO MUCH FUN. Snowboarding can absolutely SUCK if your gear isnt right.
THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THIS INFORMATION MAN. You saved snowboarding for me.
Hello, can you tell me what is your size on Mondosize? Also what brand of boots? Thanks
Thanks dude, this helped me a lot 🙏
Not so sure about this. Each boot is constructed differently. I wear a 10 shoe size. I’ve had 9.5 Burton Rulers from years past that had me scrunching my toes at the end of the boot to the point where I was in pain by mid day. I’ve had a similar pair of Burtons 9.5 that cut off the circulation of my toes in my right boot. (Should have bought my shoe size)
Point being, I’d suggest demoing boots if you can if they still do demo days. I’ve found that you won’t understand how boots will truly work for you until you’ve rode a full day in them. My .02. Feel free to crap on it if you like. :-)
Hi Rob, Comparing to shoe size is never the way to go. Always start with your 4 barefoot measurements. That allows you to match both length and width which is essential. Sadly, demo for boots is not valuable because heat fit is required to get it right and this can not be done in a demo environment. STOKED!
This has been a revelation. Thank you.
YEARS ago (about 10) I was sold very expensive Burton boots in a London store (The Snow Boarding Asylum) . 'What's your shoe size?' (UK 8, euro 42), 'Try these on. Bend your knees? Do your heels move?'. I remember asking if they had a measuring scale.... no.
I've spent years having to tighten the boots so much to feel any control of the board - so much that my feet would sting and go numb with loss of blood flow within an hour or two.
I went to a cheaper store (Decathlon) recently to try on the boots. On Decathlons foot scale I was 41 (40.5) but then I started measuring mondo (257-260) so it looks like I'm 40 using mondo and the online tool you've shared). I bought 4 pairs (!) of boots (40 and 41) and have been wearing them for stints at home. It does seem to be 40...
Another tip I hear recently is to NOT wear thick ski socks for fitting. Wear normal and you'll sense what the fit will be like after the boot breaks-in and the liner gets compacted.
One thing I can't understand is that the Burton boots in 42 are merry hell to get on and off (even after wearing in and with an incorrect inch to 1.5 inch at the end). Really hard work - so I can see why people end up in too big a size. And yet the decathlon ones go on and off fine, but are much more snug.
*One question* should I thermal-form with regular socks or ski socks?
Hey Wiredsport! I've been lurking snowboarding forums for a while and have always highly appreciated the insight that you have provided to the community and those looking into correctly fitting their boots. I have always had some bad experiences with boots and was wondering if you could provide some insight into my next boot purchase
My first boot I had bought with the help of the salesperson at the store, and ended up making the mistake of buying a boot (K2 Maysis) that was my street shoe size of 8. After a while I figured out that I was needing to overtighten the BOAs to make sure my foot was being held in place, which in return cut off circulation and caused a lot of pain and hot spots on my foot. My toes were nowhere near close to being at the front of the boot. After 2 season with these and spending time getting informed about mondo sizing through various snowboarding forum posts, I measured out to have a mondo size of 251 with a width of 3.75. For more context, I am pretty flat footed as well and usually think that my feet are on the wider side of things. With this width, it wouldn't constitute for a wide sized boot right?
After my initial purchase, I wanted to upgrade my setup with the "correct" sizing of boots and wanted to try the new step-on bindings as well to improve the quality of life when riding. Looking at various charts, I noticed they were a little generic saying a size 7 US was mondo 250, and then 7.5 was a mondo 255. Not knowing it would be a significant difference, I purchased a pair of boots (DC Control Step-On) in size 7 since I figured 251 would be close enough to 250. After heat molding and riding in them though (thinking they would pack out), I was still having pain and realized that my index toe is being curled in due to the size of the boot.
I realize now that I should've have posted something before to confirm prior to purchasing. Is it correct to say that my next pair of boots should round up to the vendor's next highest mondo size conversion? I.e. my mondo 251 should go according to a vendor's 255 mondo which would equate to a US size 7.5? Additionally, I saw that you mentioned on another user's post that the Step-On's are known to have comfort issues. I found my pinky to have a lot of pain when riding, do you believe this is an issue with the size of step-on boots or just in general?
I'm not opposed to going back to a traditional setup if that would help alleviate foot pains. Would you have any boot recommendations if I were to go down this route with my provided mondo and width sizes? I appreciate any help or advice that you can provide!
Hi Alex,
I will be happy to help. Please let me know all 4 of your barefoot measurements. STOKED!
@@wiredsport1 Awesome! I measured again (my previous numbers was measuring from a year ago and I have correction on the width) and my left foot measures in at 9.75" & width of 4" and my right foot measures in at 9.875" & width of 4.125". If it's any help, I ride goofy and usually the pain is mostly in my right foot.
@@Tihon94 Based on these measurements, you are Mondopoint 255 or size 7.5 US in snowboard boots. 4.125 inches is EEE with which is very wide. This does require a specific wide boot. I would strongly suggest either the Burton Ruler Wide or Burton Ion Wide in size 7.5. As noted, i would not suggest the Step on versions of these boots. STOKED!
@@wiredsport1 Thank you so much! Really appreciate all the help!
Wish I saw this last season. Looks like last year I purchased a half size too big. Size 11 boot by 32 - based on foot length (285) I should be a 10.5. :( Now I have a (wide) board and boot that are too big. Got a black toe, middle of the season, must have broken the boot right out, and also couldn't stop the heel from lifting. Guess I am gonna have to bite the bullet, and get some new gear. At least the jacket, pant, and bindings still fit so that's good. Sucks that I actually bought the boot in store, and I heard exactly what you were mentioning of "comfort" fit. Thanks for the great video. Makes so much sense, NOW.
Keep your wide board unless you don't want carve at all! if you buy the right boot it will still be bigger than your board and boot out,
Awesome vid! Thanks. Super detailed, very much appreciate that.🙏 When is volume 3 dropping? All about mondo point, at time 6:30
Thanks for the great video! I had a too big pair of season rentals before, and am planning to buy a proper pair for next season. Since I’ll be mostly transitioning to split-boarding I want to buy split-boarding specific boots. Does the same mondo measurements apply or should I go for more comfortable fit based on spending a long time skiing uphill and only a short time snowboarding downhill?
Genius. So correct. I feel like boots keep getting stiffer maybe this is why..⚡️⚡️⚡️⚡️
My shoe size is 9.5-10 depending on the shoe. After wearing the same booots for 10 years I decided to get the Ride Fuse in size 10. Tremendous boot, can't recommend it anymore, but I folded and rushed my purchase into the 10s. Forgot they pack out and now I'm having trouble with full board control in the terrain park. For anyone that's on the fence, just go the size/half size down. Once they're broken in and feel amazing you'll be happy...unlike me, who has to go buy a 9.5 now to keep progressing this season😂good video
Hi Redemption, assuming that 9.5 or 10 is your correct Brannock size, then even size 9.5 will be too large. Please post all four of your barefoot measurements in cm, mm or inches. That is an absolute necessity to get this right. STOKED!
Wiredsport - Snowboarding Fit Tips I'm going to one of my ski shops right now to get my Brannock measurement. Will update you when I have them
@@RedemptioINN We will not need your Brannock size. We will only need your 4 barefoot measurements. You can do this best at home. Please see our how to measure video. STOKED!
@wiredsport1 but every boot company fits different. K2 boots run 0.5-1 size bigger the Burton. So you can't say that you will X size for every manufacturer.
Thanks for this invaluable information! Building on this, with a beginning snowboarder in mind, do you have an opinion on boas vs laces vs boots that utilize both?
Hi. That is actually a matter of preference. Lacing and Twist Cinch are both terrific systems and they both have a lot of people who like each. The important thing to remember is that you can achieve the same great fit with either system. Fit is not dependent on the cinching mechanism. Stoked.
Hands down, best video to this topic on RUclips. 100% accurate!
Hey Randy. What a trip. I just got my step on burton photon wide shoes finally, but walking around a track with them for an hour, when i took my feet out my pinkie toe was red. It was abrased, as if it could have developed a blister. These burton wides are 9.5, my normal shoe size is 11 US. When I put my boot on, initially it feels pretty nice. I know when i'm walking, i'm not in the L shape of the boot. I also know it takes a while for the boot to pack out. I also considered doing heat molding. Or returning them and getting a 10 instead. I used to use 10.5 and I was swimming. This is like sophies choice:
- try snowboarding with tag on to see whether I experience the pinkie toe abrasion again. if i do I can return it
- return it and get a size 10 (which means waiting another 10+ days before i can step on)
- heat mold it, but possibly void the warranty
- use without the insole giving my feet a bit more room
if only my feet wasn't 3E wideness. It's such an expensive boot and big purchase to me, i'm like tripping myself out.
Hi Stephen, Please post your four barefoot measurements. That is the required to get this right for you. What you are describing with the step-on boots is *very* common. STOKED!
@@wiredsport1 which is that exactly? is it the bottom to top and the width? or just bottom to top and then use the snowboard sizer?
@@wiredsport1 Hey Randy. So I got 27cm and 27.5cm for Left and Right lengthwise. width, I'm at 12cm and 11.5cm and 12cm. My feet suck! What am I missing here?
@@StephenSiu 27.5 cm is Mondo 275 or size 9.5 US in snowboard boots. 12 cm would be na EEEE width at this size. You should double check that measurement. No one produces boots in a EEEE width. Step On problems are very common. We don't suggest those boots to any riders (regardless of width) but they work particularly poorly in the Wide models. While some riders are unaffected, many develop unresolvable discomfort. This tends to get worse, not better, as the boots break in.
@@wiredsport1 thanks for the tips. my feet are wide indeed and I also have bunion. I'm surprised to hear the bad issues with the step ons. You don't recommend them to anyone?! I guess I'll have to see how it goes.
great video! Thanks!
Thank you so much for such a detailed explanation. Was about to order a size larger because I was worried my toes were touching the end of the shoe. Turns out they might be just perfect 👌
This is an amazing video
Im a 10.5 shoe. Tried 10.5 boots for 2 days and couldnt feel my big toe . Most pain ever. Definitely going a half size up and not down. Foot measures almost 11 inches.
Hi, there is going to be an error in your measurements. 11 inches does not result in US shoe size of 10 1/2. Please provide all four of your barefoot measurements as width is every bit as important as length. STOKED!
Fantastic video and sizing tool. Thank you. I recently got measured as follows:
Left 31cm long x 11.4cm wide
Right 31.2cm long x 11cm wide.
Trialled burton photon Step ons, in a Mondo32, but was dissuaded to try the Mondo31 - which I think in a wide model would be correct after moulding ; would you agree?
I rented / tested the Burton Photon in a mondo 32 for two days, and whilst it felt like my toes were touching the end, there was so much vertical play in the toe box, even with two thin sets of insoles. I note your comment in regards to gaining up to 1cm of additional room after moulding and breaking in, which is why I think the mondo 31 (in a wide) would be the route to go?? My right foot is slightly larger at 31.2cm, so not sure if I would need to size up ?
I have for years struggled with toe overhang (current boots are a mondo 33). Sizing down correctly (potentially by two sizes) would be a game changer. Thanks in advance for any additional validation you could add!!
Hi! I’m considering trying snowboarding for the first time. I am a so-so skier (easy blues and greens are a-ok, I can survive a steeper blue run but it’s not my choice). The problem I have with skiing is that I have plantar fasciitis and a Morton’s neuroma, both of which cause excruciating pain when skiing because the tightness of ski boots does not agree with the anatomy of my foot. Someone suggested I give snowboarding a try and after watching your video I’m nervous that the properly fit snowboarding boot will still cause pain because my PF/MN affected foot doesn’t like to be squeezed. Do you think my instincts are correct? Should I not even bother with snowboarding and perhaps just stick to snowshoeing? Thanks!!
This needs video be widely available. It's informative and correct.
This was great, ty
I appreciate the video. I have a question for you. I just got some new boots through the mail yesterday. I used your measuring recommendations and the length is absolutely perfect, just how you say they should fit. The boots were incredibly snug when I first put them on and had to take them off after five minutes or so. I put them back on and walked around the house a bit. I noticed the top of my feet right before the toes was starting to lose circulation. I decided to heat mold the boots, adding two cut off socks in the toe area only (as mentioned in the REI heat molding video) which made an improvement for sure, but I'm still noticing a bit of numbness in the toe area. I'm considering doing another heat mold or just wearing them around the house for a few days in hopes that they'll break in and "pack out" enough to where I don't have any discomfort. Also, in using the width measurements, I am a few mm short of being a wide, so take that into consideration. Any thoughts or advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
Hi Joe,
I will be happy to help. First off, Toe caps during heat molding should never be used. I will do a full video on heat molding but here are the broad strokes:
Professionally done (incorrect gear and / or incorrect temperatures can lead to 1. no change to the liner 2. a scorched liner).
Wear the (thin please) snowboarding socks that you will actually ride in (no loaner socks, please)
Fit with your inserts (footbeds) in the liner
No toe caps
Standing, feet at shoulder width
Flat surface (no ramps or lifts)
Knees bent slightly
No motion for 3 minutes
In regards to your fit please post up your four barefoot measurements as well as the boot model and size. STOKED!
Bullshit
Thank you! Finally someone preaching the truth!
I’m a size 11.5-12 in normal shoes. Went to rent some the gear and I was surprised a size 13 Burton snow boot fit me perfect. Was riding for a whole day and feet didn’t hurt one bit after
Hi, Mario. One of the measurements will be incorrect. Snowboard boot size is always smaller than US shoe size. If you are correctly sized at a size 11 1/2 shoe size, then a size 13 snowboard boot will be far too large. You'll be giving up a ton of performance. Please post up all four of your barefoot measurements so we can have a look and get you straightened out. Thanks so much.Hi, Mario. One of those measurements will be incorrect. Shoe size and snowboard boot size
@@wiredsport1 Absolutely not true. I am size 13 US and was always riding in size 13 boots. Can't even fit 12.5 or 12 boots. I have been riding since 1996.
@@WaynesTW Hi Wayne, As above snowboard boot size is always smaller than US shoe size. Size 13 snowboard boot size equates to size 14.5 US shoe size. Please post up all four of your barefoot mesurements so we can see where the error lies. STOKED!
I am in the middle of a complete sizing and pain in toes debacle!
I starting riding 4 years ago and wore 8.5 boots. That is the same as my shoe size per shop recommendation. I use Burton Step Ons so binding must match. After first season I went down to 8 which meant all new bindings as well.
On a recent trip out west I rode for 11 days straight and ended up with toes jamming into the tips of my boots. Pretty painful. I went and had them heat molded and no relief.
After getting home I ordered 8.5 and new bindings again but stumbled on this video before trying them on the mountain.
After me assuring properly my mondo is 7-7.5 wide. Last night I ordered a pair of 7.5W and am quite hopeful that they will work well. I have always had issues with circulation and I can’t wait to see if that is taken care of as well.
Why do shops thill use standard show measuring devices that give incorrect advice?!
I called Burton direct to ask about my mondo size and he was nice but clueless.
Here’s to hopefully a much better / correct fit!
I will be happy to help. Please post all four of your barefoot measrements.

@@jasonwolfe9714 Hi Jason, I'll be happy to help. You are the smallest measurement in the size range for Mondopoint 275 or size 7 ½ US in snowboard boots. You are an E width, which requires a very specific boot. I would strongly suggest the Solomon Dialogue wide In size 7 1/2. I would not suggest any of Burton's wide boots for your foot, as none of them are designed for E with. I would also not suggest the step on system as fit is absolutely imperative in that system and you cannot achieve an exact fit with your specs. STOKED!
@@wiredsport1 Thank you so much for the info! I am looking for an available pair to order now.
Good video. Nothing like the wrong size boot. 😁
The first pair of boots I ever got the fitter told me to go 1 size down. I was in excruciating pain and made a hole in the liner after 3 days.i had a compression injury and both my big toenails fell off. Since I've had boots at my size and always felt too tight until in a binding and angled over, then just nice and snug. In the too-small boots I had to scrunch my toes so as not to be in pain. Maybe my regular shoes are all too small or something 😃 I'm a US 10.5 and the boots that caused so much pain were 9.5s (thirty two).
Hi Paul,
Please post all four of your barefoot measurements. ruclips.net/video/q1pNBJ5pXBU/видео.html . By definition the two can never be the same. Width is the most common reason for this. STOKED!
@@wiredsport1 28.3 cm left and 28cm right. So 10.5. and I wear 10.5 shoes - almost always Vans. Weird. Guess I'm the exception. Never have discomfort in my shoes. I do have very skinny feet and large big toes.
I also had barefoot measurements done at the boot fitters and it came out 10.5 so it all makes sense. Just I'm wearing a 10.5 shoe when others would be wearing an 11.5?
That was a more recent boot fitting that came up 10.5. my second boots were also 10.5s but way too wide - I think I over compensated after the tor crushers. Those were adidas and the height and width of the toebox were way bigger than 32s. Since then I've had Burton and Salomon in 10.5s and they are snuggly and perfect.
there is slight movement in my right foot and minor geel lift but I can't get two different sizes 😃 vans online size guide picks a 10.5 for my size feet too. The 9.5 was very definitely a crush, not movement. Those boots were also heat moulded in store and I wore a hole in them in 3 days. By your size guide I am in the correct boot, so it's all good 😃
Sad this is new information for me. Thank you
Great explanations thanks a lot !
I’m planning on buying the Burton Photon Step On, and here are my measurements:
Left: 274mm, 99mm width
Right 273mm, 98mm width
I ordered size 9, 9.5 and 10. According to you explanations, the 9.5 would be the right fit.
My question is for a new pair, a little bit of toe curling is acceptable or not ?
Thanks
Hi, You are Mondopoint 275 or size 9.5 US in snowboard boots. You are a standard D width. You will not have curling when correctly fit but you will have firm pressure into the compliant materials of the liner. STOKED!
This is such a great and informative video. I’ve recently took up snowboarding again after about a 18 year layoff. I made the mistake of buying boots that were to big, although they seemed to fit fine at first. After spending this past season in them i ended up with so much heel lift. So using your guide and sizing calculator I was able to find the right size boot me. My only question is, is it absolutely necessary to heat mold my liners even though everything seems to fit right. I got some new Burton Photon Boas yesterday. I tried them on and my toes are pressed up in the front with a little bit of pressure, not enough to cause any discomfort, but i’m sure they’ll break in, and my heel is locked in solid in the back. I am not experiencing and hot spots after wearing them around the house. I haven’t actually used them on the mountain yet.
Hi Jimmy, Thanks, and yes, heat molding should be considered mandatory. Heat molding is a very different process from break in. You will never get the full benefit and design from your boots without a heat mold. This should be done first thing and should always be done professionally. STOKED!
@@wiredsport1 thank you for such a quick response. So i took my new boots up to the mountain today, and after a few hours of mellow to semi aggressive riding i do notice a few pressure points now. so i’m going to stop by the shop and have them heat mold them for me. thanks again for help. by the way if you want to let your viewers know, most REI stores will heat mold your liners for free, even if you didn’t buy the boots from them.
Thanks so much for the detailed sizing explanation. My normal US shoe size is men's 13. However, taking my barefoot measurements as you describe leads me to a mondo point measurement of 289 which is a men's size 11?? This is hard to accept as my current snowboarding boots are size 13 - Adidas Response boots. I tried a few others in smaller sizes (size 12 - Vans, Burton Swath) but experienced wicked pressure and pain points so I went with the larger size boot. So an 11 is hard to imagine will work, but I am willing to try and do this as you describe. So my barefoot measurements are mondo point 289 with a width of 4.25 inches. I believe I am right on the boundary for wide feet or not. Interested in knowing your opinion on the width. Am I a wide or normal width? Thanks so much and looking forward to your reply.
Hi Mark,
289 mm is indeed Mondopoint 290 or size 11 US in snowboard boots. Your 4.25 inch width is actually at the top of the measurement range for E width which requires a specific Wide boot. I would strongly suggest the Salomon Dialogue Wide or Synapse Wide in Mondo 290 or size 11 US.
What is it with these snowboard boot manufacturers? Are they all 5’5” 140lbs with tiny feet? Why not more options for those that are over 6’ and have bigger wider feet. I don’t consider myself a “big” guy at 195 lbs.
Thanks so much for the reply and recommendations. I will check out the Salomons. Thanks!
I can't find any of the Salomons in stock anywhere. How about the Burton Photon in wide. Are they a good alternative?
@@markdowdle1 Hi Mark, I would not suggest the Photon's. They are not the correct width for you and they have too many discomfort issues. Salomon is the only brand that produces for E width and only for their Wide models. A lot of product is slow in arriving this year. I would hold tight. STOKED!
Now that’s a helpful video.
I have received my burton rulers wide in 8.5
My feet are:
L: 26,4/ 10,1
R: 26,3 / 9,9
They are very tight at the moment and my toes are crawled. Even when kicking the ankle back tightening the boot, they are still crawled and I can’t wear it longer than 5 minutes.
Will a heat mold expand the toe area?
When I take out the liner, I have toe overhang, which is good as I saw in your video.
When I step in to the boot without the liner I have just a little space all around my foot.
I’m an inline skater and there I learned for the first time about a good performance fit. But man, my toes were never that extremely crawled.
Many brands claim on their websites that this shouldn’t be the case and that the toes should touch the boot only slightly.
I really want a good boot for myself as I started to enjoy snowboarding for the first time. My 32 boots are too big now.
I hope that you can help me.
You have to try as many boot brands as possible to see what fits you. There's no magical formula unfortunately since having a boot fit you well implies more than this video suggests, measuring your length. Without trying them, it's a lottery.
What about used boots? I got a great deal at my local ski patrol swap. The fit seems right based off your video.
Should I get new liners?
Hi WiredSport - I am a little confused and would appreciate any feedback before purchasing my first pair of boots. So I have measured my Mondo and see that it’s sitting around 271/272mm - I see on the guide that this is a 8.5US size, but I’m planning on getting a set of vans boots and their sizing guide shows that an 8 is 270 Mondo and then 8.5 starts at 275 - so what would you suggest in this way? Get the 8 and then heat mould the inside of this a little or go for the 8.5 and run the risk of the boots being a little too big??
Please help 😂
Thanks for the video :)
Great video. Only one problem -- don't different brands size their boots differently?
Yes they do! At least Vans women’s snowboard boots. Learned the hard way last season when I bought boots that were too small based on this advice. I think the mondo sizing may be correct though. My new boots are a half size up compared to my normal shoe size but the mondo size matches this chart.
Hey Wired, thank you so much for your video. I’m 6’3” 230lbs and I ride a Burton Custom X 162W. I don’t do much or any park riding, rather I would say I do more freeriding. I carve hard, chase speed, natural jumps, tree runs, and powder riding. I took my barefoot measurements and my longer foot is 28.5/28.6cm x 9.9/10cm. I’m particularly looking at purchasing the Burton Photon Step-Ons. Still interested in any other boot suggestions you’d make for my foot size but certainly want the step-ons.
Want to make sure I get the right size because with the step on system I will need to buy the correct binding per boot size. A size 10.5 puts me in a Medium binding and a size 11 puts me in a Large.
With the size 10.5Wide Photon i feel all my toes pressed up against the liner and with the size 11 Photon I feel my big toe pressed up against the liner. I get maybe 10-15days on the mountain so not sure how they will break in.
Thank you again for the above resources and really appreciate your help and suggestions
Hi you will need to determine whether you are 28.5 or 28.6 as those are actually two different Mandopoint sizes. 28.5 is going to be size 10 1/2 in snowboard boots when at 28.6 is size 11. That's really important with the Burton step on boots because you don't want those to be loose at all. 10 centimeters is not wide, so you wouldn't want a wide boot in either size. Please let me know your actual measurements when you have them so we can be of more assistance. Thanks so much.
@@wiredsport1 When measuring my feet do I stand straight up or with bent knees in snowboard stance? Also do you recommend pressing a ruler on my large toe and drawing a straight line that way

Does sizing change when thinking about splitboarding boots? Especially for times when you might be hiking a significant mileage such as adventures to backcountry huts?
Great video! Helps alot. I have Mondo 28cm length and 10cm width. Where i live there is no snow so i ride on average 5-10 days a year at best. The way i see it, the boots won't stretch out as quickly as someone who rides more often. Would it be wise to go for mondo 28.5? I am thinking about the Burton Swaths. Thanks!
Hi, I would suggest that you think of boot break in as an unavoidable negative reality of all snowboard boots, not a positive which will ease fit over time. Please only rely on your actual Mondopoint size. Double check your measurements, but if accurate you are Mondo 280 or size 10 US in snowboard boots. STOKED!
@@wiredsport1 Thanks!
Bro I am in fact using 3 sizes too big 😭😭 I figured it was a tad too big when I was carving and my heel was lifting 😢
Great video!
I have a question, I ordered a couple of boots the other day. And I used this video as a reference when picking my size. The website you provided, it recommended a size 41 (eu) but I went with a 42. I tried them on and the pressure on my bigtoes feels way to much, almost painful. The rest of the toes feels fine. I’ve hade them on for 20 mins at home but I can’t see myself have them on for 6 hours a day for 1 week straight. Do you recommend going up 1 size to 43, even though that is my shoe size?
My mando size is 263 and the boots are ThirtyTwo STW double boa.

thx for the video helped allot
I feel like board companies are adjusting today.. I am a true size 10. I tried on Ride Lasso’s in shop for awhile strapped in to a board. They were very snug!! After 10-15 mins i felt some uncomfortable pressure on a foot despite the great comfort of these boots while strapped in and toes were pretty abut to to box. The is the 10 1/2 were also pretty damn snug with the ever so slightest improvement in comfort. I talked to another guy riding these exact boots and he said they don’t even pack out that much. It is hard to be certain a video like this stands true. Why I say this? I TRIED to size down and it was most uncomfortable painful day snowboarding ever. Now way the size 9’s would ever pack out enough. We will see how much pack out my new 10.5 double BOA Ride boots do rest of this year and next but I never felt a tighter 10.5 snowboard boot in my life.. If I did anything in the future it looks like I’d just go true to size 10, but I am doing everything I can not to avoid toe cramping but foot numbing and loss of blood supply. I think companies are aware today of out packing and going down a size you do at your own risk.. after 3 hours in a size down the other week my feet felt screwed up for days after… not doing down sizing again. Go see, and try on any true to size 2023 2024 boot, your toe will be jammed to the front and you will need to do at least 15-30 days a riding to pack that out just a little bit.
Hi, I will be happy to help. No, this is still 100% an issue today. Please send all four of your barefoot measurements. Please keep in mind that width is every bit as important as length in determining the correct size. STOKED!
Thank you so much
Once I get my bunion & hammer toe surgery,.. I can finally focus on getting a PROPER fit. ATM,.. my foot will not allow for going with the proper size without excruciating pain making riding a proper fit impossible. I’ve tried, had work done on the boots n liners without success.
Fortunately, I am able to ride by wearing boots that are still a FULL size smaller than what I was wearing when I first started riding. (…a decision Which I am CERTAIN contributed to my current lead foot deformity.)
That said,.. once I do fix my foot issue? I will likely be able to downsize another .5 or even 1 more full size.
The plan is to be Going in for this after the end of this (Disappointing) season.
Wired has been helping riders providing awesome, accurate sizing advice for years. Glad I found this video to add to my library of his information.
My current boots are a size 11 and so are my shoes. Both fit me perfectly
Hi Jacob, It is well worth your time to get your four barefoot measurements as described here: ruclips.net/video/TkSJJ6_1KYc/видео.html . If you are riding above your Mondopoint size then you are leaving a lot of performance and long term comfort on the table. Shoe size and Boot size are never the same so by definition one of your two products (shoes or boots) is incorrectly sized. Please post up your four barefoot measurements and we can tell you which one with 100% certainty. STOKED!
Hi man, thanks for the video. I have been riding for about 20y, I’m 33y, 178cm tall and weighing 90kg. Been riding Nitro shoes in size 46, WHAY to big. My barfeet measures are 25,5cm length and 9,5cm width. I went for Salomon lunch boa 2023/2024, first bought 44,5, to big since my toes could not reach the tip of the boots. Watched your video and change to 43,5. Now it’s tight, can just feel the tip of the booth with my toes. the highest place are over my wrist and a bit on the side. So tight that when I’m wearing it at home, my feet goes kind of numb when tightening. Have not been riding them or heat molded them.
My question, are my feet categorized as wide? They have a wider version of this boot. Will this tightness even out after some days in the slopes? Should I go up a size to even the width tightness out? I feel like the length are good.
Thank you so much for the video, will share this to my friends.
Hi, Yes you have an E width foot. This requires a specific wide boot. Only Salomon produces Wide boots for E width. The Salomon Dialogue wide in Mondopoint 255 will be an excellent choice for your feet. STOKED!
Awesome! Thank you for this video. I did the measurements and got 24.6cm Length and 9.6cm on width. Does that put me at a US size 7 and wide or a different size? I'm also curious how that sizing translates to the snowboard sizing. Thanks for this awesome video and am on the journey to find the right boots that fit right.
Hi, Yes 24.6 cm is Mondopoint 250 or size 7 US in snowboard boots. You are an E width which requires a very specific Wide boot. The Salomon Dialogue Wide in size 7 will be outstanding. STOKED!
Great video. Wish I had of found this sooner! I had 32 TM2 in a US 12. They ended up rubbing so bad.
I now have the US 10.5 and 10.

@@wiredsport1 great!! Appreciate the reply. The US 10 just felt like my left big toe was quite tight. The US 10.5 I can just tickle my big toe then when I bend knees it clears it. Is that’s normally what you look for? I really don’t want to make the same mistake again!!
Very good videos! Just gotta watch it in 1.25x speed haha. Still rocks.
Hey wired, any idea about the heat molding temperature and time for solomon response liners? I have reached out to salomon customer service and they told me they cannot give a recommendation lol. How is a shop supposed to know how long to bake the liner for? Any help is appreciated, thanks!
Check out REI because my local store does it for you but they also have a video on doing it on RUclips. Hope this helps.
I've got a question / problem. I just started riding. I've never been on a snowboard/ski before. The learning stopped for me, at the point were I was tring to ride on the frontedge (goofy).
My right foot (front) was cramping on the sole within a few seconds. I got better when I removed all my weight from that foot. The bindings, were as tight as possible.
I usally got 46eu, so I also borrowed 46eu boots. Because of the problem. I borrowed an other slightly smaller pair. Same problem - but a few seconds later. I also asked my teacher, if there should be "air pockets" between my feet and the boots....
So I assume I had 2 sizes too big, arcoding to your video. Since I want to buy my own board, boots and bindings I need your help. I was also considering those quick release ones without straps. But I guess, the problem is just the boot?
I quickly messured my feet - 285mm. But I will do that again, more carrefully. And also the width.
Do you thing it was just the boot? Any idea how to fix that?
Which boots would you recommend? (I have 280mm / 105mm width and 282mm / 102mm width (second time my messurement was 2mm off))
Thank you
This is awesome info. I got to return my new boots so if my feet are 10.75 inches what size do I need ? And my feet are wide

Hi. Thanks for the great video! Very informative. I have Mondo 29.5cm length and 10cm width. I am planning to buy Burton Photon. But last time I was in shop, I feel a bit high pressure at my toe side with 11.5 US size. So I thought that US 12 would fit me well. In the boot's specs, mondo 29.5cm equals to the 11.5 US size. Do you have any recommendation? Should I get 12 or 11.5 ? Thanks in advance !!
Hi TrBrky, I will be happy to help. 29.5 cm is Mondopoint 295 or size 11.5 US in snowboard boots. You should not upsize to 12. Have your heat fit done first thing. This should be considered a mandatory step with all snowboard boots. PS: the conventional Photons are terrific boots but we do not suggest the Step on Photons. That is an entirely different product with many known comfort issues.
@@wiredsport1 Thank you for the quick response. I do not think, there will be a equipment for the heat molding in my local area. Does boots get into fit my feet shape over time? And one more question, I consider getting Burton Custom camber too. The 158w one has 262mm waist width. I would mostly go for carving. Will 158w be enough for getting no toe/hill drag for me? Or what else should I consider?
@@trbrky5292 No, Normal boot break in will never accomplish the same thing as a heat fit. The two processes are entirely different with one improving fit and the other degrading fit. Waist width is not a factor in determining the correct board with. Nothing happens at the waist. To get the correct board width you will beed to provide weight, stance width and stance angles.
@@trbrky5292 if you can find a REI with a ski shop they will heat mold your boots for free even if you got the boots somewhere else. by the way i just got some new photon boa and after the heat mold they are the most comfortable boots i have ever put on.

Hello! This is an extremely valuable video. my feet measure 264mm and 265mm at D width. literally just on the cusp. Am i better off going for 9US(27) or 8.5US (26.5)?

@@wiredsport1 thanks for width im measuring 9.9CM and 9.6cm - is that a D?

I have wide feet AND a bunion. I have a heck of a time finding boots that don't cause excruciating pain. Typically, this means I buy my shoe size or even upsize. I know this isn't ideal, but not many brands can handle 4E width with a bunion. I'm open to suggestions.
Hi Neil,
I will be happy to help. Please do post up your 4 barefoot measurements. The Widest snowboard boots currently produced are EEE width. Sadly no brands are building for EEEE width yet.

Really good video. Have measured and come up with left 262mm/100mm, right 260mm/98mm - I think that puts me into wide territory? Would a US8.5 Burton Ruler (wide) be a good match please?
Hi, You are Mondopoint 265 or size 8.5 US in snowboard boots. You are an E width which requires a very specific boot. Only the Salomon Wide boots are designed for E width. Burton Wide models will be too wide. The Dialogue Wide from Salomon is the correct fit. STOKED!

Can I size up my binding size on a burton Proccess 138 to reflex smalls I have kids reflexs
Interesting, but also confused. I believe I measure at 11.5. That's the long foot. For regular shoes I am usually in a 12.5/13 or if I find a wide then I fit a 12, i can force an 11.5 but its uncomfortable. On to snowboard boots. I have been in salomon size 12 for a long time. My old boots my right foot toes still contact the front of the boot. Some other brands I tried on 12's I found my toes were very squished and another they didnt contact the front. So going by this depending on brand I should be in a 11.5 or 12. I couldnt ever imagine wearing a size 12.5. Any suggestions on how to deal with different foot lengths. I do struggle with heal lift I my left foot while the right feels tight. And do you have a link on how to measure widths? I feel I have a wide size but I'm not overly wide.
Hi, It is imperative that you get four accurate measurements to get this right. ruclips.net/video/q1pNBJ5pXBU/видео.html . Width is every bit as important as length and both need to be matched to get the right fit.
I wear 9.5-10 in regular shoes.
Took me a while to finally figure out this size was the best for me.
Based on the how to measure feet video, my measurements are 10.125in length and 3.75in wide
What size snowboard boots am I?
I have bone spurs (essentially a big hard bump) on top of my foot. Should I still follow this guide, or are there special considerations for my situation? I also have wider feet if that adds anything. Getting the perfect snowboard boot has always been hard.

Slightly off topic. Will a Burton Moto Boa size 10 fit a Union Flite pro binding size large.

Hey man, first off appreciate the info and the fact that you're still replying to comments.
I recently tried the Swathe and the Imperial burtons. I tried the 10.5 because I had been riding in old DC 10.5s. My foot measures 26.5 cms and according to your calculations I should get an 8.5.
If my toe was already touching in the 10.5 wouldnt that make the 8.5 way too small?

Got it. 10.5 cm is an EE with at 265 mm (Mondo 265 or size 8.5 US in snowboard boots). This requires a very specific Wide boot. I would strongly suggest either the Burton Ruler Wide or Burton ION Wide size 8 1/2.
Awesome thanks a lot man!! gonna check those sizes out a bit later today@@wiredsport1
@@wiredsport1 Hey man, so I measured again and the width is actually 10cms not 10.5 so I guess I don't need Wide boots? I tried the Imperials i went down to a size 9 and they felt really snug I think 8.5 might be a bit too small
Hello, I have a question. I got problems with my old boots because they gotten way to soft and a good amount of heel lift over the last years.
I measured my foot and according to your chart i have a MP of 275 and a E width.
My last boots were Burton Motos with a MP of 280.
I ordered now some Burton Ruler Wide in 275 and they fit pretty good right out of the box, my only points is that my toes are touching the front of the boot, its not painful but there is a good amount of pressure, when i bend my knees forward the pressure is gone but still my toes are touching the front, 0 heel lift at all in this boots.
Is the toebox going to widen out after riding or should i consider buying half a size bigger?
Thank you for the good video by the way.
Hi, I will be happy to help. 275 mm is Mondopoint 275 or size 9 1/2 US in snowboard boots. I would not suggest Burton boots for an E width. Only Salomon designs their Wide boots for E width.

Hi, so I had myself fitted at Evo in Seattle and they recommended I would go with a 10 size. My foot size is about 10.5 or a bit bigger. But when I used the size 10 boot, especially it was for a step-on, I had moments on the snow that my feet would hurt, or have circulation issues or discomfort and pain. The boot is a Burton Step On Ruler and the boa adjusted only on one zone. I got the chance to buy another boot and since I have the step on I will still have to get a step on boot, but I do not know if I should not listen and get a 10.5 size boot this time? One thing to note is that, unlike some friend of mine that have the foot flat so the upper front part of the foot didn't seem to bother them, I have a very high arch which bulges a bit the upper front of my foot. I wonder if this is the reason why a down sized boot to 10 for someone with high arch would cause discomfort and pain. I am honestly considering getting a dual zone boa this time, so maybe i can leave the lower zone a bit loose and the upper zone a bit more tight. When I did a bare foot measurement as suggested here I came to measure about 11.12. This measurement says that I should go with the 10.5 which is very close to my foot size. So I am conflicted and confused and have no idea where and what to try or do. What would you recommend I should try or do?
Hi. 11.12 cm is Mondopoint 285 or size 10.5 US in snowboard boot size. That is indeed the correct size for you. STOKED!

Hi Wired, I have a 290/108mm left foot and a 288/105mm right foot. Bought a pair of 32 Lashed in 290 mondo, but it crushed my big toes after a morning snowboarding. Should I've opted for a wide boot model according to my feet width ?
Hi, yes, your foot is mondopoint 290 which is size 11 uS in snowboard boots. You are an E width. This does require a very specific wide boot. I would strongly suggest the Solomon Dialogue Wide in size 11. Thanks.
So I want to start by saying I have weird feet and even normal sneakers hurt them (loose or tight). I’m a size 5 in womens and I think 21.5 or 22cm (around there) which happens to be 5/5.5(womens) in snowboard boots (depending on brand). I currently own size 5 burtons and have only rode once. I was in excruciating pain throughout the whole process, feet were numb and just hurt sooo much. According to this, I’m at the right size. When I tried them on in story they fit is exactly like how you explained.
