Narrow feet

[sgt_zim]

Bought a pair of Merrell boots for my trip to the Idaho mountains.

I wear 13B in some shoes, 14A (very narrow for those who don't grok American shoe sizes) in others.

The Merrell medium width in Thermo Glacier Mid Waterproof fit great. They are just a skosh wide. But if you have narrow feet like I have, Merrell is a good place to start looking. Most medium width shoes flop around on my feet. These fit quite snugly.

The speed lace eyelets at the top are very snug on the laces. You have to give an extra tug on the laces to seat them all the way in, but once in, the laces aren't going to slip out.

I've owned a couple pair of their hiking boots and they were very comfortable. Unfortunately they didn't stay waterproof very long, especially the last pair. The Goretex liner failed leaving me with wet feet when walking through dew covered grass.

Look at Whites, they will custom make a boot to your feet. It is a simple process. They cost more, you do get what you pay for. Just something to look into.

@sgt_zim , same issue but have had good luck with New Balance, Danner and Red Wing boots.

My grandpa had narrow feet and always wore Red Wing work boots because they were the only narrow boot he could find. Looks like there are few more options now.

That's a bummer. If I run into that issue with them, I supposed I'll just start coating them with beeswax the way I do to keep my LL Bean and Justin boots soft (and waterproof).

I too have narrow low arch thin feet. Merrells, Danners and New Balance have worked, but I still have to add insoles.

If you like merrel boots… give their trail running shoes a try… incredibly comfortable.. and very durable… most running shoes last me 6-8 months tops…. I’ve had my current Moab’s for 11 months and they’re still going strong…

I have 3 pairs of Wesco Boots that were custom fit by them, absolutely amazing. Not cheap, but as you said, you get what you pay for. Along with Wesco and White's is Nick's. All three of these companies cater to the Pacific North West logging along with the wildlife firefighting industry. Top quality kit.

I am also a B width. I bought the Lowa Renegade because they come in narrow width. I also use arch support insoles that help me tremendously. www.the insole store.com
