There must be many of us out there, with skinny and/or low-volume feet, who struggle on a daily basis to find any kind of footwear to fit, especially here in the US, land of fat feet.
But search no longer - Scarpa is your answer.
The European lasts that Scarpa uses make a narrower shoe than the standard Merrell / Vasque-type shoes (and the same applies to most of their hiking boots). The leather and suede used by Scarpa is of good quality, and the footwear is always well constructed so that it lasts beautifully. It was such a relief to find a Scarpa stockist in the USA.
The Oxygens are everything that a Scarpa shoe always is. Comfortable, well made, with good tread... a pleasure to wear. Though they don't have a goretex liner (and thus breathe well), the suede is splashproof and you could always apply Nikwax or similar should you wish to improve this. The only downside I have found (true of so many trail shoes) is the ankle opening is fairly large, so you do need to lace them up snugly to prevent any heel-slip.
