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. -- Melinda Shore - Software longa, hardware brevis - Prouder than ever to be a member of the reality-based community |

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? Gene |

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). HTH Eric |
