A narrow foot slides around in a roomy shoe, and the laces end up pulled tight to hold it. Below are the snuggest shoes by runners' reports, then cheaper ones, stability shoes and this year's releases.
What we look for in a shoe for narrow feet
A snug toe box. Runners rate how roomy each shoe is against the others they've worn, and we take the snug end of that order.
A heel that holds. A narrow heel slips first, so heel hold counts for a lot here.
Your usual size. Going down a size for width cramps the toes, so look for a narrower shoe instead.
