The Instinct 100 CS by Salomon has been a great selling women’s boot for a few seasons now. It has a 98mm last that fits close to the foot and works exceptionally well for a lot of women. Many skiers report the Instinct CS 100 feels like an extension of their foot and therefore not bulky like many boots of the past. It has a 100 flex that provides enough performance to power through any snow conditions out there, but enough finesse to get down in control. Salomon also includes their custom shell technology making it very easy to expand the boot if it is a bit too narrow.
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.
