Hey guys,
I am going to buy some skis online and the shop can already mount them for me so it would save me the hassle. However It asks for the boot sole length of my boot... My boot is pretty ancient so it doesnt say it on it. I would like to know the best way of measuring boot sole length because if I got it wrong it would suck.

It should be on the bottom of your boot sole.

on the site it says to measure it in mm also my boot says a 29.5 on the bottom of the sole but I highly doubt that this is the length because I measured it with a rule roughly and it came at like 33.5 cm

i don't know how ancient your boots are, but even boots made in the early 80's say it somewhere.

double check the forward pressure when you get them.

look on the heels of your boots, depending on the brand the BSL will be on the inside or outside of both boots.
