could be anything from 275 to 289 mm and thats just if she is a true size 5 [24/24.5 shell] one up or down form there and you could be dealing with something from 265mm-300mm
all that means it is impossibole to sort the boot to binding without the actual boot.
i would have them send the skis with the bindings unattached and pay someone to put them on over here when you have the boots

it looks as if we may only get a couple of weeks this coming season,which makes buying boots for her a bit of a nonsense as she will have outgrown them by next winter :( |
This is why junior boots are so cheap.

snowskisnow, I did the same last year buying my daughter skis when she hadn't got boots, I guessed and got it wrong, not too much of a problem as the skis are Elans with the bindings on a plate. spyderjon, sorted them out later.
She's 12 and size 5, her boots are 286mm. Looks as if her feet may have stopped growing and they will probably fit again this year.

snowskisnow, But even a "fake boot fit" won't help much.
The reason for the variation given by CEM isn't down to variation in her but down to the variation in sole lengths between different brands (and even models) of boot for the same foot size.
The only way you are going to manage with her own skis but varying rented boots is if you get one of the "integrated" ski& binding sets where the binding mountings are built in to the ski, and the bindings can always be adjusted to fit a different boot (within limits, of course).
Oh and BTW, while there is a "junior" size 5, at age 11 there is no way her feet are that small. The "junior" size 5 is usually for babies/small toddlers.
