This is the boot for Narrow feet

When I first tried these on, I immediately noticed that they fit great. After a few minutes, my feet went numb, but I didn't care (which is a bad thing), they just fit so great. I work at a ski shop, and when people try on boots and their feet go numb, I tell them that it is the wrong boot. I have last year's model, which is probably only cosmetically different than this years.
I am an aggressive advanced skier and I LOVE this boot. I have narrow feet, and I couldn't find any boot narrow enough for me. It took a while for me to break them in (about 20 days of skiing, mostly half days because I had school in the morning). Before breaking them in, I had to unbuckle them on the lift, or my feet would go numb but they always skied great. Recently, I had been having some pain on the bottom of my foot, with occasional numbess. I put in some Aline footbeds (about $60), and the pain was gone. I now don't have to unbuckle them at all. If I had gotten the Aline foodbeds when i got the boot, I might have not experienced numbness. at all. I wear a Smartwool Ultralight PhD ski sock with them. I highly recommend Aline footbeds. I basic superfeet trim to fit footbeds in them before, but they didn't do much compared to the Aline.
