I'm in the same boat as Maria--very narrow feet. I order shoes online (no outdoor store within 200 miles) that say they are narrow, but the ones made in China are very wide, and just LABELED narrow. Very annoying. I have sent many pairs back. Dunham narrows are not narrow, for example. I found some New Balance light leather hikers that are fairly narrow, but they won't hold up to a lot of heavy backpacking, I don't think. I used to wear Vasque boots exclusively, but their "narrow" boots have kept on getting wider over the years.

Also the larger sizes for women are hard to find. It's just plain stupid, with women's feet getting bigger in modern times, that the manufacturers do not make half sizes over size 10!

I would like to know if you tested "Narrow Width" boots. I have problems with the regular width, even with extra insoles and double socks. Thanks for your help.
