I wear a 40 in a pair of tight fitting Barracudas, but am now in a Miura VS and am also in a 40. At this point I have little miles in the Miuras, but so far am very happy with the fit. I would describe the heel cup of these shoes to be much similar to the one on the Barracuda...With a narrow heel, you may consider trying a "Womens" lasted shoe. http://www.backcountry.com/store/LSP0032/La-Sportiva-Miura-Climbing-Shoe-Womens.html *Though not available in Velcro, the traditional laced Miura in the "Womens" version could be a good option.
