 Poster: A snowHead
|
Mrs MA & I have just taken delivery of Garmont touring boots from eBay. We both purchased the same Mondo point size as our normal skiing boots.
While mine are fine, Mrs MA's are much too small - she can barely get her feet into them. Before she sends off for a bigger size, are there any lady tourers out there who can comment on whether women's Garmont boots are generally very small sized? It would appear so, as a friend with size 4 feet has tried the size 24.5 boots and they seem to fit.
Mrs MA is just wondering what size she needs for a UK 5.5 - her normal boots are Mondo 24.5 - which seems to tally with all of the sizing charts we have looked at online. The boots in question are She Ride, though unsure if that is of any significance.....
Cheers!

Will have a look at home tonight as to how they relate for us - I do know that Garmont ladies go down to very small sizes as they were the only ones we could get that fitted my wife.

both myself and female freind that were out at the weekend touring in scotland have garmont - ive got the g ride, friend has the she-ride. The mondo point we have are the same as the mondo point of our alpine boots, so i d say they are about the same fit as other makes with obvious a little deviation, but seem pretty true to size

sweaman2bitoffluff Thanks.
Hmmm, it seems a bit of a mystery - they are definitely a much smaller fit but are also definitely the same mondo size (24.5) as her normal boots  . The shell is the same size as her downhill boots so it's the inners that seem to be the problem. The only way her feet will go in them - even with them removed from the boots - is to cram them in! Wonder if they are a mutant pair....wrongly marked or something?
My sister in law has similar sized feet - and owns Garmont touring boots, so Mrs MA is going to try them as a comparison.
Anyway, the boots she's bought can go back for a refund so it's not a major problem - she just needs to suss out her sizing in Garmont.
Cheers.

Well I looked last night. Ladies UK size 5.5 or 6 fit fine in a Garmont Luster size 24. Couldn't find a mondo size written on the downhill boots to compare to.
Stupid question perhaps but aren't the liners supposed to be thermo-formed - would that make a huge difference?

You'll need to Register first of course.

just a thought - have you checked the mondo size of the liners as well as the outers? maybe theyve given you the wrong liner size
