He wanted a shoe for NARROW feet.
Most shoes are too narrow, but if you want something even narrower, get the women's version instead of the men's version. If you get Inov-8, look for the performance last instead of the comfort or anatomic last.

He wanted a shoe for NARROW feet.
And that's exactly why I suggested Inov-8 295's. Check out the reviews at Zappos, for example: "
I have narrow feet and appreciate the fit on these" ... "
Those new to Inov-8's should be warned they run a little small and are narrow" ... "
And even though I (female) have a narrow heel, these gender neutral shoes fit" ... Or runnersworld: "
The narrow fit and secure lacing system ensured a snug fit"
Also, I'm on my second pair of 295's, so I know how they fit. Generally I only comment on gear I own or have used multiple times, and that's pretty rare. Lots of folks here comment on gear they never used. Or do what you do: squirt out multiple posts that contain zippo nada information pertinent to the OP's request.

Are these the first Inov8 shoes you've bought? You write like it is. I currently have these, the Roclite 315, Roclite 370 and Terroc 330. The Roclite 295's are the widest of them all. You seem, unlike what you do, I comment on gear based on more than one item instead of squirting out multiple posts that assume a shoe is narrow based on limited experience. You might have done well to read my second post instead of squirting out your last post.

Me too.
Solomons runners have a narrow fit similar to NIKE

Look into North Face and Vasque brands and the B widths on New Balance shoes (if offered).

Oops, I forgot Columbia brand too.
Adidas tends to lean toward a narrower cut, which is why I were them.
Zappos.com
Left side, narrow. men/women.
Then scroll down to search by specific size.
That will give you an idea what is out there.

Narrow or really narrow? In the latter case I suspect New Balance is your only choice. My wife wears 13 aaa and can't find anything else. They do run short so you might need to go up a size.
New Balance makes 3 men's outdoor shoes in a B width - the 978 (which is Goretex), the 967 (which is waterproofed), and the Dunham Cloud (also waterproof). I have the predecessor to the 978, and they've worked pretty well for me.

I wear a ll.5 B. I am using a New Balance running shoe 840. Figure it will take about four pair to make it to Maine.

I agree. Too narrow for my forefoot, but just right for my heel. (Based on one pair a few years back).

I found them to be narrow in the heel (good for me), and bought them two full sizes longer than usual to get a wide enough forefoot (based on two pair over the past two years).
Oops, I forgot Columbia brand too.
I bought a pair about 6 years ago. They were wide and boxy. They must have changed the last that they build them on.

I wear them one size larger. I meant to say, for actual trail runners and general running, I like the Trail Response shoe. They also make a trail shoe that wear for backpacking, a little sturdier for those rocks and extra weight on your back.
Soloman makes good narrow shoes.
