Looking at new boots for my wife.
She's very small (thin, size 6 feet) but strong (personal trainer and ex-bodybuilding competitor)
What brands women's line should we look at for a low volume fit?

Lange has some that might fit if she has a narrow foot. Possibly the new Dalbello. Also kids race boots. I am 8.5 but have been lucky with Jr race boots in the past. Find a good bootfitter with a large inventory in small sizes, the biggest problem you may face is that they've already sold out most of their selection in her size.
Good bootfitter?Quote:

Seriously though, she's tried on a lower end Atomic (only thing in her size at local shop) and the 23.5 was a nice fit.
I'm thinking Atomic, Lange (or the new Lange/Roxys), and Rossi. All these are known for low volume fit in their men's line.
Anyone know about Sollies? The men's are kinda high volume but are the women's also?
Salomon, Technica and most Nordica's will not fit, per your description. If you want to put something on her feet, feel free to shop near home. If you want your wife to be happily skiing in good equipment, you might need to shop elsewhere.Quote:

remove the liner, toes touching the front, she should have 1cm behind her heel and the shell of the boot. 1.5 MAX (1/2 inch)
if it feels too tight right away it will be the right size, if it feels "nice" = too big
salomon falcon 100 in 22 or 265 (jr narrow boot) lange comp 100 W in 4 or 266mm
