The Hell & and Back Expert from Nordica will be a “go to” boot for a lot of women this winter. It has a 3 piece Shell Construction which makes it much easier to get on and off than traditional boots. Nordica has also built in a hike/ski mode that allows the back of the boot to release and stand up straight. This makes it much easier to walk around the resort and it even allows time to relax the legs and stand up straight before the next run. These features will allow the recreational to intermediate skier to enjoy their day much more. The Hell & Back Expert will fit the B-D width foot and insteps of all heights.
This women’s ski boot is measured in mondo point sizing. The
easiest way to determine your size is to look at the chart below. Locate your regular shoe size and look down
to determine your boot size.
Mondo size can be converted to US women’s sizes fairly
easily. To translate that to a US women’s
size, add the 2 and 3 together to get 5.
Then place the .5 behind it. The
result is a 5.5. The 5.5 is actually a men’s size since mondo translates
directly to men’s sizing, in order to translate to a woman’s, 1 full size must
be added. Therefore a woman’s 6.5 is relatively a 23.5 mondo size. We also need to remember that skiers
typically wear a ski boot that is one size smaller than their regular
shoe. That means a women with a 7.5 shoe
will typically wear a 23.5 ski boot.
