Smallest hardboot?

Post by puhutes » Sunday 29 March 2015, 19:33

Hey everyone!

Can anyone tell me the size of the smallest hardboot?
I couldn't really find any brand of boots smaller than 36 (5-6W USA).
If anyone knows a smaller brand, please let me know.

Thanks Jennifer

Thanks for your reply. How big is the mondo 22? My little guy is turning 5 and his size is 28-30EU (11USA).
Are there no hardboots made for kids? Thanks

Why you want hard boots for him? Shoe size is so small that even with soft ones you can setup decent angles.

Because daddy is a professional alpine rider and we are both of the opinion that small children
should have the choice between alpine snowboards and freestyle snowboards. I was hoping there
would be boot options as getting Kessler to build us a board would be no problem and getting
a smaller binding should also be pretty easy.
The idea is to get people out of the "snowboarding is only for 15-25yo crowd menality."
Snowboarding should be available for all ages. Check out the greysontrays! What an aweome
concept sharing boarding info for the 40+ crowd.
It would also help the alpine snowboarding industry by getting a younger crowd interested in alpine.
Imagine carving childrens or junior races 8)
Some have suggest the old Raichle Mondo boots. I will see if I can get my hands on one of those
smaller boots. If not, then I will have to go with the Burton softboot kit they sell in stores.
