Welcome to L9 Ski Boots - Your Guide to Finding the Perfect Fit

If you're new to the world of skiing and looking to invest in your first pair of ski boots, you've come to the right place. At L9, we understand that ski boots are arguably the most crucial gear for any skier. These boots are your direct connection to the slopes, where all the power and control originate. To help you make an informed choice, here's a breakdown of some essential factors to consider when shopping for ski boots.

Discover Top Ski Boot Brands

We proudly offer a wide selection of ski boots from renowned brands like Salomon, Dalbello, and more. These top-quality brands ensure you're getting the best performance and comfort on the slopes.

Understanding Mondo Sizing

Ski boots are sized using a system called Mondo sizing, which might seem a bit unfamiliar at first. Don't worry; it's easy to grasp. For example, a 27.5 Mondo size corresponds roughly to a US shoe size of 9.5. If you're a woman, remember that women's sizes are typically one size higher than Mondo sizes. So, a women's ski boot size 27.5 would equate to a US size 10.5. We also offer adjustable children's ski boots, ensuring they can grow with your child's feet.

Finding the Right Ski Boot Width (Last)

The width of a ski boot, known as the "last," determines the volume and comfort inside the boot. Your goal is to find a boot that fits snugly without causing discomfort. Last measurements are in millimeters and usually range between 95mm and 105mm for adult boots, with the majority falling between 98mm and 102mm. Narrower feet tend to favor boots with lasts less than 100mm, while those with wider feet require more space.

Deciphering Ski Boot Flex Ratings

Ski boot flex ratings are assigned a numerical value, usually ranging from 60 to 150 across different brands. A higher number indicates a stiffer boot that requires more effort to flex forward. Keep in mind that these numbers may not be directly comparable between brands, but they serve as a starting point for assessing flex.

Just like skis, ski boots are designed for specific types of skiing. If you're uncertain about which boot suits your needs, check the product descriptions for guidance. If you still have questions or need assistance, our L9 staff is here to help. You can easily reach out to us through our chat or email options for personalized advice.
