Going cheap on boots is a bad idea.
Have fun with sore feet!

The best cheap boot is probably the Rossi Salto.

^ I'm 99.99% sure you're kidding but, if you aren't... yea

Anyways that rule is a good way to guestimate your Mondo size but it's not accurate. It gets close though. Also keep in mind that you will probably need a smaller size ski boot than shoe.

Ski boots don't go to size 36.
That'd be like size 20 realistically.

He's making fun of you because your system for determining boot size doest really make sense.

What happens if you have a size 30 boot? size 3 shoe?

For normal sizes through to like 12 or so of shoes it actually works.

plus, if you know that a 29.5 is an 11.5 shoe, a 30.5 would be a....12. go figure

No, that'd be 12.5 I believe.
Every half size is still a half size.

actually in ski boots a 26.0 is the same size as a 26.5. the mm dont change. the foot bed is higher in a 26 and lower in a 26.5.
