Previously I've got on well with Scarpa Dominators and Red chilli Phantom's ... but I don't think either of these can still be bought...

Any suggestions for new boots on the market suitable for narrow and low volume feet?

Cheers

I have some Sausalitos. They're pretty comfortable but rather wide. I have narrow, shovel-shaped feet which hardly taper at all at the end. I've never yet, in forty-odd years, found a pair of rock shoes which were both comfortable and efficient.

I've always found chilis to be the broadest boots on the market! Odd that folks are recommending them for this.

Evolve Bandits and Pontas work well for my skinny feet,

I'm the same, try Boreal spider.

Five Ten anasazi pinks or whites are pretty slim.

Depending on what size you are, there is no shame in buying a big pair of womens shoes.
In reply to benj_d:

True, i find womens boots fit my feet better than mens. Womens Meindl Burmas being a perfect fit.
As for rock boots, i have a pair of (UK 7.5) 5.10s possibly anasazi(?) that are a really good fit. Not sure if they are mens or womens though but they are a nice manly looking blue colour

Thanks for the tips- a range of options and opinions always handy - and some narrow feet obviously way diffeernt from others. Women's boots a good suggestion but never seem to find these in size 10 over here (have done in the US)!

In reply to MarkM: the 5.10 Low Volumes replaced the blue velcros which were women's fit ie slim. The LV aren't as good as the blues but are ok

You'll not get an LV (womens) fit above 41 I wouldn't think.
I find that Scarpa Thunder (comfyish all day tradder but quite technical) and 5.10 Verdes are both a good starting point for slim feet. Pontas is also a good shout as is the Pontas Laceup.

i have skinny feet and am finding millet dulacs good.
find too that they are a good shape for having a second toe as long or longer than the big toe where other shoes are crippling.

i often wonder what dulacs foot looks like...

I would suggest the white anasazis or the 5:10 moccasins.

Some wierd suggestions on here! Assuming you really do have narrow feet (you would be just amazed how many people are wildly wrong in the opinion of their own foot shape.....) then some rock shoes which are definetely narrow fitting are.

Evolv Pontas and Pontas Lace - quite a similar style of shoe to your Phantoms, pointy, non downturned etc.. maybe narrower fit though.

5.10 Anasazi Lace Ups, especially the whites but they're a more aggresive shoe - harder on your toes and achillies.

Scarpa Visions - these are almost the same shoe as your old Dominator but are getting quite hard to find now with most shops running the downturny ones instead for performance models from them.
In reply to MarkM:

I'll second the Scarpa Vision suggestion - they're made on the same last as the dominators and i can vouch for an almost identical fit.

They are hard to get hold of though - not too many shops seem to stock 'em

Another vote for visions, they fit narrow feet very well, be carefull of buying without trying them on as scarpa sizing has got a bit silly recently ie i take a 42 in most shoes but a 41 in scarpas
