Narrow foot, not long enough

By Ranked #265 - Men's Backpacking Boots December 6, 2010

I have a narrow (Size A), low volume, long (Size 13) foot with a narrow heal. I have been looking for a boot (Approx. 30 years) that fits correctly and will not give me blisters on my heals. Up until now, I have yet to find it. I ordered these boots based on the description and reviews. When I received them I tried them on immediately. They fit my narrow feet well from the width and volume perspective. Unfortunately, They didn't feel long enough. I was afraid that my feet would expand and they would become too short. That may be due to the boots' toe box being narrower than some of the other boots I have tried on. I went online to Kayland and noticed that they do make a size 14US size. But, Backcountry does not carry them. I asked them if they could order it from the manufacturer but they said they do not do special orders. So, I sent them back without wearing them. Very disappointed that they did not have my size. I am giving them 4 stars because they fit well and were constructed well. I feel that if they were a little longer, they might have been the boot that I have been searching for.
