The Alpina T5 Jr is a warm and easy-to-use cross-country ski boot for children and juniors. The anatomical footbed helps keep the foot stable, while the Thinsulate insulation provides warmth on cold winter days.
To find the right size, you should measure both of your child's feet. First of all, start with the foot length in millimeters and use the EU size as a comparison.
| EU size | Foot length/Mondopoint | US junior/children | UK |
|---|---|---|---|
| 25 | 155mm | 7 | 7.5 |
| 26 | 165mm | 8 | 8.5 |
| 27 | 170mm | 9 | 9.5 |
| 28 | 175mm | 10 | 10 |
| 29 | 185mm | 11 | 11 |
| 30 | 190mm | 12 | 11.5 |
| 31 | 195mm | 13 | 12.5 |
| 32 | 203mm | 1 | 13 |
| 33 | 210mm | 2 | 1 |
| 34 | 217mm | 3 | 2 |
| 35 | 223mm | 3.5–4 | 2.5 |
| 36 | 230mm | 4.5–5 | 3.5 |
| 37 | 235mm | 5–6 | 4 |
| 38 | 245mm | 6–7 | 5 |
The T5 Jr has a comfort-oriented junior fit with an anatomical footbed and soft flex. There is no clear basis for the model being generally small or large. The child's measured foot length is therefore the safest starting point.
If the foot length falls between two sizes, you will normally choose the larger one. However, avoid buying several sizes too large to make the boot last longer. A boot that is too large will cause the heel to slip, which can cause chafing and impair the child's control over the skis.
Example: If the longest foot measures 182 mm, the measurement is between EU 28 and EU 29. Then normally choose EU 29.
A smaller growth gap is reasonable, but the child should still be able to keep their foot stable in the boot. Don't automatically choose an extra size if the recommended size already leaves enough room in front of the toes.
Check the fit again during the season as children's feet can grow quickly. If the insole is removable, the child can put their foot on it. The toes should fit within the edge of the sole, while leaving some space in front of the longest toe.
It's best to measure your feet in the afternoon or evening, as they may be slightly larger than in the morning.
A thin or medium-thick ski sock made of wool or functional material is a good choice. The T5 Jr has Thinsulate insulation and does not normally need to be worn with multiple thick socks.
Double socks can create creases, pressure points and reduced blood circulation, which can in turn make your child's feet colder despite the extra thickness.
When the Alpina T5 Jr is the right size:
Let your child walk and do some skiing-like movements indoors for 10–15 minutes. Don't just ask if the boot feels good – also check that the heel is in place and that the child can move their toes.
The Alpina T5 Jr has an NNN compatible cross-country ski sole. It can be used with standard NNN, Prolink and Turnamic bindings.
The ski boot does not fit the NNN BC, Rottefella Xplore, SNS or 75 mm binding systems. Always check the ski bindings before purchasing.
