Boots for small feet

Jell said:

I wonder if the combined intellect and experience of the UK walking
fraterinty can give me some advice.

I'm looking for a new pair of boots, but only have size six (UK) feet.
Most men's boots seem to start at size 7 or 8. Does anyone know of
any decent brands that make smaller sizes for men?

Its worth ringing a few shops, and possibly the makers/importers. I've
known some shops deny that a smaller size exists, when in fact, it seems
they have chosen not to stock it, or their wholesaler hasn't offered it to
them (my experience being finding small women's sizes for my other half).

On option might be Altberg, who will make to measure if their standard
ranges don't offer a good fit. Their standard mens walking ranges seem to
be from either size 3 or size 5.5 depending on model. I think one of the
shops in Keswick might stock them as an alternative to buying direct. I've
no personal experience of using their boots.

In general I have found that women's boots at this size are rather narrow
for me, but I'd welcome the experience of others who have tried this
approach.

Same here, I have not had a pair of shoes/boots which actually fit properly
since I left the RAF back in National Service days.
