Hi, I'm a size 24, I was wondering if I can get boot's fitted for that small of a foot or should I just go buy some?

Not sure what you mean by fitting. Obviously they'll work on the boots for you, that isn't going to change with size of foot. If you mean finding boots in your size, a number of brands make some men's models with a 24.0 shell but you may need to get them ordered in for you because shops don't sell enough to order in a full selection. You can also look into getting fitted for jr. racing boots, you get a quality boot but often save a couple hundred dollars.

Lange makes the rs/rx series in a mens 24 (albeit a somewhat larger than normal 24). It's not a good time to buy boots since most shops will be out of, well a lot. Shops usually get their orders around September. What I'm trying to say is that you aren't screwed because you have small feet. Obviously a good bootfitter (should) know what to set you up with.

There is much more to your foot then just, its narrow. Go to a fitter and have him asses your feet. But like has allready been mentioned, you will have a hard time finding a good selection of boots in your size at this time of year.

You would be best off waiting untill next season. How much skiing do you have left this season? do you really need the boots now?

This goes against my better judgement, but here goes.

You need to go see a bootfitter.  They can fit all sizes of boots.  A size 24 isn't very small or rare.  Neither is a narrow boot.

If the fitter tries to put you in a junior race boot, don't get upset.  They're narrow, and have a softer flex than a full-on race boot.

Most mens boots start at a 25 shell. Im guess you are very light, look into a kids high end race boot. Youll get the tight narrow fit that you are looking for.

Also the lange RX series does come in a longer 24 shell, but that may be a bit too long if you are a true 24er. Are you young and still growing, or just a tiny person?
