Narrow feet

[alex.]

Dear all,
This is my first post, so first of all I want to say hello to all of you, I enjoy a lot reading the forum.
I have a small problem as this year I bought a pair of Asics resolution4 and the size were a bit bigger than spected and a bit too wide. I have quite long and narrow feet.
Because of that I want to buy a new pair of shoes. Can you please suggest me some current shoes that are narrow (I know that in the past adidas barricade 5 were quite narrow) and confortable to play on clay courts?
Thank you in advance

I have narrow feet also. In fact, I wear aftermarket insoles on top of the factory ones so I can get a snug enough fit for most shoes.

I recommend you try the Lotto Raptor Ultra IV, Prince Rebel, or Rebel 2. The Lotto will be the narrowest but I like the Rebel for comfort. The Lotto might be the only shoe on the market that fits me better without a 2nd insole. I also like the Prince T22. I know some say it has a wide toe box, but it's pretty snug on me when I'm wearing my insoles, and the side claws keep my feet locked in. Don't try anything from K-Swiss or New Balance.

Same thing here. And I second the Rapor recommendation: fits a bit longer and tighter. Love the fit of these shoes despide having flat foots. Flat=! wide after all.

Longer,tighter and also fits flat feets? These will be my next shoes!

They rub a bit my little toe though. The shoe is narrow and long all along, there isn't much room in the toebox. It's not cramped and it doesn't bother me that much, but you may want to know it.

Yes the Raptors are narrow. I actually like the small toe box because of my narrow feet. Still, if I could only wear one shoe it would probably be the T22. It has enough stability for me, and being in my 40's I love the cushioning so I can play the next day without being in pain. The Raptors are great speed shoes, but you get less cushioning and comfort with them compared to some other shoes.

Usually, if your shoe is too wide, you can add a padded insole that has cushion and increased thickness, so you raise your foot in the footbed, to a narrower part of the shoe.
My AsicsSolSpeeds seem very narrow, too narrow for my narrow feet.
My K-Swiss seem very narrow, especially in the heel cup, and DON'T marr cement courts at all.

Thank you for your comments. I think I am going to test the Lotto Raptor

I'm a "B" width with a very narrow ("AA") heel as well and find the nike vapors have worked pretty well over the last few models - with the exception of the "8" - without my having to wear thicker or two pairs of socks.
