ideas needed-making of a small mountaineering boot 24-Jul-2007 At 1:43:47 PM sliianna

So ive emailed all the major climbing boot companies around and have found only one custom boot maker (but only strap on crampon compatible).
i need some of your creative thinking- my feet are too small for my boots (length 20.5cm= mondo 21? which means in my size 36 scarpas, eve 2 pairs of socks and 3 insoles dont stop heel lift when im front pointing.
) and they dont make any smaller. noone does. so, i need to work out how to get smaller boots and these are some of my ideas:

1. custom- limmer boots seem to be one of te onky companies around but they only have boots compatiiblwe with strap on crampons. will this work for mixed routes?

2. buyt the smallest plastic boots and get a custom liner if it exists

3. buy ski mounatineering boots and get a custom liner

4.??
5 know any japanese boot companies (since japanese women have been climbing for years!

anyone got any good ideas?
