There are two sizes of binding Meidjo:

• binding size S: for shoes of less than 300 mm. For Scarpa and Cripi from 22.5 to 26 (mondopoint) and for Scott from 22.5 to 25.5 (mondopoint)
• binding size L: for shoes greater than 300 mm. For Scarpa and Cripi from 26.5 to 31 (mondopoint) and for Scott from 26 to 31 (mondopoint).

Values (in mm) are written to the heel of the shoe.

For ski boots, there is a very simple standard, developed about 20 years ago: the Mondopoint.

The unit simply corresponds to the length of your foot in centimeters, just measure it and choose a size accordingly.

Here's the procedure for knowing your shoe size:

• put a sheet on the floor against a wall
• place yourself on this sheet in order to have your back flat against a wall, the heels glued to the wall
• draw a point of reference in front of the most advanced toe of your foot.
• measure the length between the most advanced toe of your foot and the back of your heel.

It is essential to measure both feet.

This corresponds to being able to pass a finger behind the heel when one has the foot in the boot. The mondopoint size allows you to select shoes but should not replace a careful fit.

Don’t forget to measure both feet. One always has one stronger than the other

These values are given as an indication, each manufacturer has its own conversion table.

A pair of Meidjo binding weighs about 920 grams.

Yes, in case of fall, the release is guaranteed. It’s carried out laterally via the spring box.

Refer to the manual of the setting of releasable system on the spring box: https://www.the-m-equipment.com/images/meidjo/setting-the-releasable-system.pdf

The pair of an alpine heel is 240 grams.

At present, only the Crispi brand sells telemark boot with rear inserts: all Crispi boots with inserts at the front have rear insert allowing the use of the alpine heel.

If you want Scarpa boots with rear inserts, only models before 2016 are fitted with rear inserts.

Warning : Scarpa TX Comp have never had front and rear inserts.

No , it’s not possible to use the alpine heel with a binding other than Meidjo. At your own risk and peril - the release may not trigger.

Yes, in case of fall, if you have the alpine heel the complete release is guaranteed in rotation. The release is effected onto the heel and via the spring box.

Refer to the manual of the setting of releasable system on the spring box: https://www.the-m-equipment.com/images/meidjo/setting-the-releasable-system.pdf

In the event of a frontal fall, the heel will disengage and the telemark mode will be activated. The complete front release is therefore not possible.

It’s preferable to choose between the use of ski brakes and the use of crampon interface.

If you prefer touring skiing, it is advisable to install the crampon interface.

If you prefer the track, it is advisable to install ski brakes.

However, if you want to use both options, it will be necessary to install crampon larger than the ski brakes.

The first function of the inserts is to equip several pairs of ski to change as many times as you want the binding of skis.

They also have the advantage of preventing the abduction of the binding on condition that choose a ski with some reinforcement (titanium plate, for example).

All skis can be used for telemark. It should be noted that the telemark is a sport where the skier exerts a lot of pressure and torsion on the bidings and on the skis.

This stress requires to choose solid skis, with a flat heel and preferably stiff. For this reason, we advise you to orient to skis that have a skate reinforcement plate (ideally titanal); you will limit the risk of tearing.

We DON'T advise using skis with a paulownia reinforcement.

If you have any doubt, you can ask us for advice through our contact form , specifying the brand and model of the skis or contact a specialist dealer directly.

Telemark is a market in which 3 brands distribute specific boots for telemark: Crispi, Scarpa and Scott.

The choice will be based, above all, on comfort.

As a second step, the choice will be made according to different criteria and depending on your use: terrain type / performance / flex / comfort / weight / shoe type standard 75 or NTN ...

Number of buckles : a three- buckles shoe is used more for touring ski (lighter and lower boots) than a 4- buckles shoe that is more oriented for mountaineering.

Two parameters are considered in the flex: the stiffness of the collar and the stiffness of the bellows.

For advice and more information on the choice of your telemark boots, we invite you to contact a specialist store.

In order to use the Meidjo binding, it’s imperative to have NTN (New Telemark Norm) standard boots with front inserts. The boots in standard 75 don’t fit on the Meidjo.
