That said, Bill is correct in that boots can vary their proportions at the ends of the spectrum. The TLT5 is already a very slim "anatomical" fit and has the shortest sole on the market so it's definitely worth looking into. The TLT5 is the same shell for the 22.5-23.5.

Bill - thanks for the note about the TLT sizing. That based on Jesse comment make the TLT worth following up on. Thanks to all for the replies.

Last year I bought my wife some 22.5 TLT5 ,s . Her previous boot was a Scarpa Magic 22.5 in which we had to get intuition liners and have her use thick socks to get a fit.In fact on one foot she used 2 socks. With the TLT5,s we ended up blowing the shell out in the toe area for both width and length.I was really supprised in the big difference in volume. Also, the boot fitter commented that boots tend to get out of wack proportionally on the ends of the sizing spectrums. A note on dynafit sizing in the 22.5.

Better solution is to simply shorten a Silvretta Pure of shorten a Silvretta 500, or use the Kidz Silvretta version. Back in my son's day, we shortened a pair of Ramer bindings. That worked fine as well. http://www.wildsnow.com/969/how-to-shorten-the-silvretta-pure/ The Pure isn't made any more, but retailers probably have a few pair (click banner above for RandoGear.com and they might be available on the used market in places such as Ebay.)

What I see now is parents carrying their kids alpine equipment up, and their cross country gear down.... I still have a few years to build the perfect child dynafit setup...but I was wondering if anybody has tried to retrofit e.g. bd dynafit soles to an child alpine boot. (..and what is the smallest alpine boot available? ) There really is a need for child dynafit’s! What I see now is parents carrying their kids alpine equipment up, and their cross country gear down….
