    I've got one-buckle Dalbellos(?) that we got through Utah Ski and Golf's rental program. We had to use some extra socks for a bit but she has now outgrown them and is going up a size as a 3 year old. The rental program is 300 something bucks and lasts until she hits a 140 ski, fwiw.

    I think have some tiny boots in my kids’ gear stash. I’ll report back tomorrow.

    I have some Alpina’s that our oldest used- ordered off web..... second one may use them.

    These look to be a better design:

    Nordics nordy’s used to come that small. Scour thecweb and you might get lucky.

    You will have better luck finding a unicorn. 14.5 is still a bit of a stretch but they are out there.

    Probably but I know they exist.

    There are a couple sites with 14.5s.

    WTB: smallest ski boots possible for 2 year old

    I’ve never gone smaller than 16.5 for my kids. At that age, fit isn’t that important. 2 or 3 pair of socks have done the trick for us - our kids have started at 30 and 27 months. Still another 22 months for grom #3.

    Our daughter is 21 months right now and is rocking a size 4 shoe, so she needs all the help she can get.

    I bought a bunch of sheets of boot foam, padded down the liner over the instep and sides to keep the foot stable in the boot. Also created a heel pocket. Made a hudge difference.

    Wish I had kept our tiny nordys in 13.5 for friends to borrow

    I saw some increadibly tiny one buckle ski boots at a thrift store a month ago. Can't have been bigger than a toddler size 3 or 4. The BSL was like 6 inches or less.. They're out there. My kids first put on gear when they were 3 and 4 to stomp around the back yard in.

    Go that way really REALLY fast. If something gets in your way, TURN!

    I’ll bet there will be something at the AVSC Swap.
    If not, it’s probably better to wait until just before ski season. It’s amazing how fast their feet grow at times. I had two boys and ended up putting demo binders on all the skis.

    The one-buckle Nordicas I have from Utah Ski and Golf are 14.5s, and the lease / trade-in program through them is great if you are starting them young.
