Shoes with a narrow toe box
« on: October 14, 2021, 01:09:38 PM »
I tried the search function but didn't find anything, but feel free to kook me.

The only shoes I found so far, that fit me kinda good are the Lakai's with the XLK construction. I am a 7.5 US size there.

I have some Half Cab Pros for work. And I tried the Rowan Pros, but the toe box was way too wide for me.

Anyone have similar problems and can possibly point me in the direction of supportive shoes with a narrow toe box?

Thanks in advance pals.

Last Resorts had some of the narrowest toe box I've ever worn. Couldn't even make a full session with them

I second Adidas Puigs, much narrower at the front than other Adidas models, than Vans and other brands I have tried. I would love these shoes if not from that though, excellent sole, great heel hold even without tightening them too much, but they are not shoes I could wear all day, too narrow for me at the front.

NB288 has a real narrow toe box, I have one pair on now and one on deck in the closet.  Almost all Vans are too roomy even if I put in an extra insole, such is the curse of having long skinny feet.

Thanks for all the replies pals, I am glad I am not alone with that. So far, I like the Etnies Veer the most just from looking at photos.

My feet are literal diving palms so I can tell you with absolute certainty that the puigs, Nike zoom prem and cons CTAS have narrow toe boxes that made my feet bleed.

Dude I was so hyped when I tried them on a while back now I’m a bit hesitant to buy a pair…

Definitely Zoom Bruins, absolutely unwearable for me because of how skinny the toebox is.

I do not understand why people say that Last Resorts are tight though. I have WIDE feet, and wear a 10.5 in Old Skools. I wear a 10 in the VM001 Suede Hi and they fit fine.

913 from NB# is not narrow at all. It's a medium/normal boxy shape. 508 is also slightly boxy, not that narrow.

Etnies Veer are not super narrow and will feel decently roomy once broken in. I liked em but not for skating. Maybe a bit snug at first. I had a couple pairs. They run small, so if you don't 0.5 up like you should then they will definitely feel narrow in the toes, but maybe elsewhere too.

Narrow:
Cons vulcs using the CT sole are all narrow.
Last Resort
Es Accel Slim
Emerica Figgy Dose is kind of narrow

I can attest that cons are skinny as fuck, but strangely enough I never felt uncomfortable when I skated them. They hurt like hell when you switch over from thicker shoes though.
