    DIN standard for boot toe height?

    Does anybody know the standard toe height range for ski boots? I think I once saw a document from DIN stating the max and min for the important dimensions of a boot, such as the height of the toe and heel, but google won't find it for me now.

    It's ISO 5355...apparently to view it you have to buy it (if going ISO's site)

    edit: looking an older copy of Rossignol's binding manual, they say 30 (+/- 1) mini. I don't know what a "mini" is, but if you could figure that out, you're good, I think.

    Maybe that's the spec for the heel? my toe is 18.8mm high, heel is 29.7

    Sounds about right. The measurement looked equal for both in the description, but clearly I should have thought about what ski boots look like in actuality.

    Looking back at the diagram it says 19 +/- 1 for the whole toe (i.e. the contact height at the AFD to the underside of the toepiece) and 5 +/- 1 for the height of the toe ramp on the tip of the boot toe.

    Cool, thanks a lot.

    Edit: Just found a link to a rossi manual in an old thread on tech talk, its got all the info you're talking about. This probably is where I saw it before.

    Good money says we're looking at the same manual.
