People with small feet, HELP!

okay so i have tiny feet. i'm small all together at 5'3" tall, 115 pounds, and 17 years old. i measure out at a 22.5 boot with a 266 sole length. i ride some dalbello krypton jakks and am okay with em. i've been riding these boots for like 5 seasons and am on my second pair but i really don't like em. they are pretty comfy and the length is perfect but they are cold and wet. i've had the whole boot "sealed" with silicone but my feet are still soaked and freezing after like 3 runs. and yeah i don't like cold feet but so far the only "expert" level boot in a 22.5 that i have found is the jakks. i like the flex of em and the index is 70-100 but i haven't changed out the shims since i got em. does anyone know a company that makes a badass boot in a 22.5? i'm a really aggressive skiier and i ride basically everything. freestyle and steeps. i can't ride race boots cuz they don't flex enough for big switch landings. so yeah. please help.

check out the girl full tilts. they say women's specific anatomy, but it's not true. the soul sister is the same boot as the konflict, just comes in smaller sizes. i wear a 24 and it was hard for me to get small sizes too. i'm actually using the soul sister pro liner in my hot doggers and couldn't be happier.

i have a 22 foot so i feel your pain dude! so frustrating, half the time they try putting me in junior boots that have a delicious flex of like 40 - not so good for powerful skiing hahah
anyhow try the lange world cup pro series, the flex varies from like 90 - 140, but they're a nice narrow boot without too much volume, and they definitley make a 22.5, also if you measure up a 22.5 try squeezing into a 22 cause once the liner packs out they're pretty much the same boot....

so they come in the funny old school lange blue, but i think the 2010 ones are like black and shit, not so hilarious, so yeah check them out, also solomon do one or two performance pairs that would be worth looking at too. just be wary of sales ppl reccommending you a junior boot, cause if they're geared to people a lot lighter, shorter, and less agressive at skiing than you, then you probably won't get the desired results from the boot.
best of luck dude!!

Try out the Tecnica Attiva Pro 100. I have them and absolutely love them. I also have the kids Tecnica Race 90's and those are great as well.

Unfortunately, a lot of guy's boots that come in a true 22/22.5 will be of the race variety (like Tecnica Race Pro 90s). Awesome if they fit your foot, which is always what it ultimately comes down to. There aren't many wider guys boots that are available in a true 22/22.5, actually I can't think of one... BUT as a poster above said, definitely check out ladies' boots. A lot of the times a 22 is really a 23 shell with a shorter liner in it so be careful and always check the BSL.
