What very small hiking/motorcycle boots are out there

[mark manley]

My girlfriend has very small feet, US size 3, about UK size 2 and has a problem finding quality hiking/motorcycle boots, does anybody know of a manufacturer who makes them this small. I have tried Altberg and they don't do smaller than a UK 3.5 so no luck there. Any suggestions?

Shame about Altberg - brilliant boots!

It depends on how much hiking you're planning on doing but how about looking at childrens trials boots?
Unlike MX/enduro boots they are designed/made to be more supple and are OK for walking in - but I wouldn't recommend them for full on hiking. Some are also narrow enough in the leg that you can get loose/bootcut trousers over them so you don't look too much like a storm trooper!

How about looking at decent hiking boots? Many of them give pretty good ankle protection (and should be good for walking!). I believe Scarpa are pretty good for smaller/narrower feet.

Yes I have two pairs of Altberg and they are top notch but their smallest women's size is 3 and a half, I am looking for size 2. I did contact them to ask but no go, I am guessing they cannot get the sole in that size. The problem with children's shoes is they are poor quality, they are not expected to last more than a few months.
I will look at trials boots but they are not what I am really after.
Thanks for the input.

Have just seen some new Meindl 'hunting' boots in a local gunshop - they looked as though they might be worth a look.
