#7 - The Basics of Telemark Boots: Sizing & Fitting

Telemark Boots! What do those numbers mean on the shell of my boot? Is it really supposed to feel this tight when I wear them? And more...
The purpose of this podcast is to cover some of the basics about Telemark ski boots. We cover how to determine what size you need, how to identify the size of the boots you have and the myth about 1/2 sizes.
Josh is joined by Freeheel Life team members Ashley Berkowitz and Taylor Johnson who help him cover the facts about the boots.

[@FreeheelLife]

I sold off my boot quiver and sized down based on this podcast. Thank you!

Brilliant podcast - loving these episodes! I'll confess that I'm finding it pretty trippy though. Ashley's laugh (which is fantastic) sounds exactly like Clare Malone from the 538 podcast, and Taylor sounds exactly like Jonathan Lee from the TrainerRoad podcast. And yes, I realise I listen to an eclectic mix of podcasts... :-)

[@FreeheelLife]

Haha! Thanks Grigor. We'll have to listen closely to those other podcasts and see how they compare.

In New Zealand trying Tele boots is impossible. I have 27.5cm length foot and think want a 28 Mondo shell. I have narrow and flat feet. I'm interested in the NTN Scarpa TX-Pro, but will the TX- Pro women be better?

Hey Andy - the last is still the 102mm in the women's so unfortunately not make a difference. Don't believe you can get 27.5 in women's boot as well. Hope that helps.

I would love some topic timestamp links on this video especially. Just a suggestion!

@@FreeheelLife I rarely get to SLC Josh. I did send you a few CDs of that video as well as others. Did you not receive them? Been a couple years ago. I'd to contribute my VHS and CD collection. Yours is a worthy cause.
