Snowboard Boot Sizes Conversion Charts The Real Guide to Snowboard Boot Sizing (Without the Confusion)
Here’s the deal—choosing the right snowboard boots is much the same as picking the right partner: get it wrong, and you’re stuck with discomfort, regret, and ultimately a pretty terrible time. But don’t worry! This guide will help you break down boot sizing, so you can get the perfect fit and focus on what’s really important—riding.
Snowboard Boot Sizing: What’s the Deal?
Selecting the perfect snowboard boot size can be as bewildering as trying to put on a wetsuit for the first time. There are four primary sizing systems to consider: Mondopoint (in centimeters), US, UK, and EU. The challenge lies in the fact that these sizes don’t always align seamlessly between different brands. However, once you determine your correct size, you’ll avoid the hassle in the future.
- Mondopoint: This one’s simple—it’s your foot length in centimeters.
- US/UK/EU Sizes: Your regular shoe size, but with a little less consistency across brands. Always check the manufacturer’s chart to be sure, as they can tend to vary.
While you’re figuring out your boot size, don’t forget to dial in your board size too! Our snowboard size guide can help you find the board perfect for you.

Guys, here’s the scoop: determining your boot size is a breeze with this chart. It converts Mondopoint measurements (your foot length in cm) to US, UK, and EU sizes. For instance, if your foot measures around 26 cm, you’ll probably need a US size 8, a UK size 7, and an EU 40.5. Remember, boots typically expand with use, so choose a fit that’s comfortably snug right from the start. Rest assured, they’ll adapt to your feet perfectly after a few trips to the slopes!

Women’s Snowboard Boot Sizes
Ladies, this chart will help you find the perfect boot size with ease. It links Mondopoint measurements (in cm) to US, UK, and EU sizes, so you can order with absolute confidence. If your foot measures about 24 cm, you’ll need a US women’s 7, UK 6, or EU 38; and so forth. As with men’s boots, expect these to break in and become more comfortable after a few outings. Aim for a fit that feels secure without pinching your toes, as this is easily the worst thing while you’re out trying to navigate the slopes.

| 21 | 8.27 | 4 | 3 | 34 |
| 21.5 | 8.46 | 4.5 | 3.5 | 34.5 |

Whether you’re just starting out or looking to upgrade, there’s something that’ll fit your feet, your personal style and your riding style perfectly.

European Snowboard Boot Sizes by Brand
Let’s tackle the complexities of brand-specific Euro sizing. This chart compares foot lengths with Euro sizes across various brands such as Burton, Adidas, K2, Ride, and Salomon. Here’s the catch: sizing can vary between brands, so get to know the differences.
- Adidas often runs larger, so a 20 cm foot might correspond to a Euro 33.3, which differs from the more standardized sizing seen in brands like Burton.
- Burton and K2 generally follow a more conventional European size conversion, though minor differences can occur.
- Ride and Salomon usually offer true-to-size fits for narrower feet, while Rome boots tend to have a roomier fit.
This guide should help you find the right size when shopping online or if trying on boots in-store isn’t an option. Remember, even within the same brand, sizing can vary by model, so it’s wise to check the specific size recommendations for each boot. I’ve learnt this lesson with running shoes and snowboard boots alike.

Picking the Right Boot: What Really Matters
So, you’ve found your size. Great! But that’s only the beginning. Your boots aren’t only about fitting your foot—they also need to fit your own unique style.
- Flex:
- Soft Flex: More bendy and more forgiving. Good for beginners or for more experienced riders who like to mess around.
- Stiff Flex: More support and more control. If you’re into bombing down the mountain or free riding, go for a stiffer flex for sure.
- Fit: Boots should be snug but not “holy hell, my toes!” tight. They will pack out as you ride, so expect them to feel tighter at first. Think of wearing ice skating boots, they fit very snug but they don’t crush your toes, these are much the same thing.
- Lacing System: Do you want the simplicity of a Boa system, the old-school vibe of traditional laces, or something in-between like speed laces? Up to you, but each has it’s own set of pros and cons.
Boot Flex & Lacing: Which is Best for You?
Boot Flex
- Soft Flex (1-3): Perfect for freestylers or those still figuring out how to stay upright and find their rhythm. Soft and forgiving, but not great for high-speed carving.
- Medium Flex (4-7): For the all-mountain rider who wants some versatility. You can play in the park and still cruise down groomers comfortably. (For all-mountain shredders looking for versatility, we’ve got a roundup of the best all-mountain snowboards to pair with your boots.)
- Stiff Flex (8-10): If you like to charge and hit those steep slopes hard, go for a stiff flex. Maximum support for maximum speed.
Lacing Systems
- Traditional Laces: Classic and customisable, but tricky to tighten with gloves.
- Boa System: Twist and go. That’s it. Easy to adjust, even when on the mountain.
- Speed Laces: A quick pull and lock system. Definitely faster than traditional laces, but not as easy as Boa.

Editor’s Take – Tristan Parker
Getting the perfect snowboard boot fit is crucial. My personal recommendation? Go for boots with a medium flex, striking that ideal balance between comfort and control for diverse mountain riding. These are my top choice because they consistently deliver, whether I’m gliding on groomed trails or tackling the park.
For achieving a precise fit, the Boa system is unbeatable—it allows for swift and effortless adjustments while you’re on the go. Ultimately, the boots you select can significantly impact your experience on the slopes, so investing time in finding the right pair is well worth it.
Buying Tips That Will Save Your Feet
- Try Before You Buy: Please, try them on. Different brands fit differently, so don’t go by the number on the boot alone.
- Use Snowboard Socks: Thicker socks can mess with the fit, so wear your boarding socks when trying on boots as this will give you the best idea of your perfect fit.
- Heel Lift: Flex your knees and make sure your heel isn’t lifting. If it is, go down a size as the boot is then too big.

How to Keep Your Boots in Top Shape
You’ve spent good money on these boots, so let’s make sure they last:
- Dry Them Out: After a long day on the slopes, pull out the liners and let them air out. Trust me. Your future self, and your car, will thank you. (Mine did not when I first started out.)
- Store Them Correctly: Don’t simply toss them in a damp bag. Let them dry and keep them in a cool place.
Final Thoughts
Follow these simple tips, and you’ll be golden. Once you’ve got the right fit, flex, and lacing, you’ll be ready to hit the mountain in comfort and style. Trust me, your feet will thank you.
