The Air shell from Tecnica is an all new technology designed to make ski boots more comfortable for the average skier. The Viva P80 has 2 independent and inflatable fit zones between the shell and the liner. That way the skier can customize that amount of air that goes into the forefoot and the heel area. On the back of the cuff there are 2 valves, 1 to inflate and 1 to deflate. Simply pump up the boot until your feet feel comfortable and secure. Then use the other valves to deflate the boot. The Viva P80 is designed from a 100mm last and has an 80 flex. Therefore the boot is designed toward women skiers with above average width feet and high insteps. It will work great for entry level skiers up to low level experts who desire a wide fitting ski boot.
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.
