narrow heel wide toe box NNN skating boots?
 

i am looking for narrow heel wide toe box NNN skating boots? i have
been looking a little and found that hartjes boots are made this way
however they are not NNN binding compatible.
i currently use atomic boots NNN but the toe box is almost too small
and the heel is not quite snug enough
even with different footbed inserts (i use green superfeet).
i do not want to change all my bindings! i do race however i only race
for fun ( western sierra's) so i am mainly interested in comfort .
thank you.

I have narrow heels, high arches, and a high-volume
forefoot, and do well with Rossignols with Superfeet green
inserts.

I was waiting for others to respond. Atomic boots have been big in the
heel for awhile and when they went to SNS must have enlargened the toe
box and width as well. I was told that was intentional, perhaps to
provide an alternative to Salomon's sometimes tendency to go narrow.
Alpina has a screw fastener in the back, sort of a counterpart to
Salomon's strap, and tend to be relatively roomy in the forefoot. Have
you written some shops that carry different NNN boots to see what they
have to say?

I agree w. Gene about the Alpinas. The screw adjustment in the heel
works very well, and
allows the boot to accommodate a wider range of feet than it probably
would otherwise, and makes for
a really nice fit. From looking at current offerings, the SSK, RS,
and SR 40 all are still using the "posi fit" heel. Not
sure about the current top of the line.(ECS).
