OMG! this post opened up a can of worms for me. I have 6 pair of hiking boots, 2 high top, 2 low top, 2 with Goretex, (1 trail runner, 1 hiking). I have so many because I keep some at the condo and the Goretex are great for slopping around in rain and snow. The brands are Scarpa and LaSportiva. I tried them on to verify that the heels were a narrow fit. Sadly, every pair are stability shoes. I tested them out outside and after about a 15 min of walking in them all of my aches came back, low back, ball of foot and my injured ankle started screaming. My feet kept rolling to the outside, especially my injured ankle, I guess because it's still weaker. The longer I had them on I could feel the arch supports. This is totally opposite of what my PT said I needed.
So, @tinymoose, yes, Scarpas and LaSportivas have a narrow fit in the heel, at least in the models I have. Too bad you can't wear a 5.5 I'd ship them all to you.
