I have a pair of Asolo FSN 85 boots that I truly love. I have about 300 miles logged and they feel great. I am looking to buy a few more pairs of boots now and break them in this winter so I have backups ready for an AT thru-hike.
Recently I tried on the Vasque Breeze and they felt great...but I'm about a size 12.5 and the 12 is too small, 13 is too big.
The salesman had me try a size 13 narrow, which felt about perfect - notably more comfortable than the first time I tried the Asolo's.
My question is this: I overpronate and have never worn narrow shoes before. I'm wary of starting now since I've never needed them before. Is there a significant difference between the narrow and regular widths? Am I asking for trouble?
Do you have any similar experiences? What would you do: stick with more Asolo's or try out the narrow Breeze? How about the idea of switching boots to a different model in the middle of a hike?
Thanks, and happy trails!
