After thirty some odd years of employing various footbed manipulations in order to make my athletic shoes and hiking boots come close to fitting my B-width feet, I recently broke down and shelled out the bucks for a pair of Merrell Guides in a B-width. These boots are fantastic! Not only does the B-width fit my narrow foot wonderfully, but Merrell offers insoles in various thicknesses (thin, medium, thick) to further fine tune the fit. I have found that my boots fit perfectly using the medium insole while wearing a pair of liner socks and a pair of Thorlo Hiking socks. I would highly recommend this boot to anyone looking for a serious hiking boot to fit a narrow foot.
All are made by Scarpa for Fabiano.
Mtn. Master: MONSTER heavy boot, about 6lbs (sz 9), did not try.
Edwardo: Very heavy duty (about 5lbs, sz9), fit narrow but not too low volume, possibly workable if I wore the right orthotic.
Lisa: Discontinued model, same sole and leather as Edwardo but very narrow and low volume. Weight about 4.4 lbs, sz 9. I bought this one. You need to get 1/2 to 1 size larger as it is very short for it's labeled size. I can wear with or without a small heel orthotic.
Ria: Looks same as Lisa, but lighter weight (about 3.8lbs). Is supposed to be same very low volume. I did not try this on, only saw in catalog. I would guess it is still a bit stouter than the Vasque Sundowner.
A few lighter models. Several discontinued models available from hqts.
Summit model (discontinued) is fairly narrow (not available in narrow), stiffer boot than Sundowner.
Asolo: No narrows, regulars were fairly wide/large volume(tried model 530?)
Timberland: No narrows, did not try any
EMS: No store locally, phone discussion revealed no narrows.
Alpina: Unable to contact
