Vasque Boreas GTX Hiking Boot - Men's

I have a very narrow foot (and an especially narrow heel), but about 5-10 years ago I found a pair of Vasque, size 9.5 hiking boots, all leather and waterproof, that fit me very well. They are mid-height and fairly light. But the stitching is showing signs of old age and things are starting to crack. Do the latest Vasque models have similar lasts to their boots of 5-10 years ago, or are they wider now? Does Vasque offer a narrow width as well as medium width? Are they still made in Italy? What's likely to be the most comparable boot in the Vasque line to what I have currently? Thanks!

Same here. The Vasque's have changed & are not the same as what they used to be. Try the Italian made Asolo's. They have a narrower last & a much more comfortable feel. I have a B/C width & they have less exposed stitching, Vibram sole, & full grain leather upper.
