Narrow width

  I have a narrow foot, high arch, long toes, and narrow heel. I take a 9 Narrow and when it comes to getting new shoes or boots my wife runs the other way. I wanted a lighter and cooler hiking boot to use this summer here in the deep south.
  I came a crossed a pair of Vasque mindbenders. They seemed to run small and narrow despite it was a medium, so I did what I usually do with medium shoes, I stuff it with an innersole to take up the slack. It doesn't work of course and usually wear the backs out from slippage. However since I knew how Vasque fit I decided to order a 9N thru Amazon. I crossed my fingers and agonized over my decision until the package arrived. I wasn't sure if I should order a  size larger as suggested in the reviews.
  When they came, the first thing that struck me was how light they were. They are also a good looking mid boot. When I tried them on and laced them up and stood up on them, they were perfect. The saving grace of these boots is the good size toe box. I've been wearing them around expecting to break them in but it wasn't necessary. My heel does not ride up in the back. No horizontal shift. They feel like they are part of me. I got caught in rain storm the other night when the sky just opened up. It came down in buckets. I got soaked and when I looked down the water just beaded up on the boots and rolled off like water off a duck back. My feet were the only things dry. The fit is superb. This is a good boot.
