Boots with a narrow last

Hey I was wondering if I could get a list of boots that generally work well for people with narrow feet. Please include non park specific boots as well if you've had a quality pair. I know FTs, Dalbellos and some Atomics have a narrow last, but im wondering what else is out there for me. I'm not looking to make my decision based off this thread, just using this as a place to start. Thanks +k for some help!

I have had a couple pairs of Langes that have fit really tight laterally

I ride Dalbellos now and they are a little wider, but still pretty thin

lange and technicas are usually narrow.  I have technica inferno 110. I love them.

Lange boots only come in a 98 last width (unless you have connections with a race rep and get their pure plug boot, not available to normal consumers). If you want a 95 last width boot look at Nordica Dobermanns or Atomic Redsters.

Remember you can always grind and punch but you can't make a shell any smaller.

Most every brand (only exceptions that come to mind are K2 and Full Tilt) will offer a range of boots in both 95 and 98mm lasts. Occasionally you will come across <95mm boots but they tend be rather specific and purely geared for WC race. But if you are looking at only 98mm boots then every boot brand makes them.

All of these boots will offer different last shapes compared to one another, along with different geometries and flexes. So, as mentioned earlier, definitely stop in to your local shop and find out which options will work best for you.
