1. Boot Sole length:

mm      More info

Use sole length of ski boot in shopping cart

We need the exact measurement of your boots in mm to fit the binding correctly. The number can be found by measuring the length of the outsole (3 digits). The number is also printed on the boot's heel.

2. Skill / style:

First timer / Very cautious

Beginner / Cautious

Intermediate / Recreational

Advanced / Aggressive

Expert / Aggressive Off-piste

3. Body metrics:

Ordering Skis and Bindings at SkatePro

When you order skis and bindings from SkatePro, the DIN calculator will appear during checkout. Enter your weight, height, age, skill level, and boot sole length to get your personal DIN setting.

You can then choose how your bindings are handled:

• Mount the bindings yourself
• Let SkatePro mount the bindings
• Have a SkatePro professional contact you to confirm the correct DIN setting

If SkatePro mounts the bindings, we will adjust them for free to match your DIN result, so your skis are ready to use safely. If further adjustment is needed, a local ski shop or specialist can easily fine-tune the settings for you.

What Is a DIN Setting?

The DIN value is a standardized setting used on ski bindings that determines how easily your ski boots will release during a fall. It’s crucial for balancing safety and performance:

• Too low DIN = bindings may release too early
• Too high DIN = bindings may not release in a fall, increasing injury risk

This calculator helps you find the right release force based on your body measurements and skiing style.

How the DIN Calculator Works

To calculate your DIN number, we take into account:

• Weight - More weight often means a higher DIN
• Height - Influences force during turns and falls
• Age - Younger and older skiers may need adjustment
• Skill Level - Beginner to expert settings vary
• Boot Sole Length - Measured in millimeters from the boot heel to toe

These inputs help estimate the correct release setting for your bindings - essential for both safety and performance on the slopes.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I set my own ski bindings?
You can use this calculator to determine your DIN number, but binding installation and final settings are best done by a experienced technician.

Where do I find my boot sole length?
On the bottom or back of your ski boot heel - typically shown in millimeters. The number can be found by measuring the length of the outsole (3 digits)

What happens if my DIN setting is wrong?
A setting that’s too high may not release when needed, while too low may release prematurely. Both conditions increase safety risks.
