The Women’s Hot Rod 8.0 uses the same 101mm last as the Sportmachine series of the past. It incorporates their Natural Foot Stance which allows for better balance with less effort due to the feet positioned in a slightly abducted stance. Nordica also uses their HP Slide-In and Polyether Bi-Injected Shell to make the boot extremely easy to get on and off. The Hot Rod 8.0 is designed for women who are searching for a high quality, easy fitting and easy skiing boot. The Hot Rod 8.0 is best suited for entry level to upper intermediate level skiers who are just as concerned about how the boot performs on the hill as it does while sitting on the deck waiting for the family. Due to the high quality of the boot and the Natural Foot Stance the Hot Rod 80 can quickly help women progress to the next level. It works well with insteps of all heights and C-E width feet.
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.
