If you count grams before embarking on a backcountry trek but don’t consider flimsiness a good trade for light weight, the Kayland Women’s Apex Trek Boot is right up your alley. Kayland constructed this agile hiker with a resilient leather-and-synthetic upper and lined it with waterproof breathable eVent to see you through four seasons of hiking. The large rubber rand makes this boot ideal for everyone from scree skiers to scramblers to crampon-clad mountaineers, and the supportive ankle cuff and custom-fit lacing system boost your confidence as you travel fast and light over rough terrain. The Apex Trek’s engineered composite insoles flex ergonomically for natural push-off and torsional stability.
Bottom Line: The Apex Trek Boot grapples with gnarly terrain while keeping your foot in ignorant bliss.

I wrote a review when I first got my pair but it seems to have disappeared.
Anyway, love the boot, nice traction, works well with semi-automatic crampons, and...not too narrow! I see reviews regarding Kayland with narrow feet and Kayland with wide feet. I have wide-ish feet (D width), small feet (6 womens), but most importantly is that my feet are wide across the toe area (not much tapering, more like duck or square-ish) so finding boots that are wide in the toe-box is quite problematic (original Keens were made for my foot, Chaco sandals as well). These Kaylands work quite well for me in the toe-box area. It could be that the asymmetric lacing allows for fitting wide and narrow feet. It could also be that for me, a narrow boot is one that tapers aggressively from the wide part of the foot to the toe (La Sportiva); so, while these might be "narrow" across the ball of the foot, the toe-box taper is mild.
Can't really comment on the sole stiffness. There is a rocker sole and that works well. I think most small sizes have stiffer soles compared to larger sizes.
Of course, these impressions are for the small sizes. Larger sizes may well be narrower.
Change me.
