Fencing shoes or boots for narrow feet

I have narrow feet and prefer boots to shoes.

Does anyone know what shoes might well for me. I have Ling boots which are pleasing aesthetically but balloon around my toes making me not quite so spry as I should be.

Adidas is known for narrow shoes.

And when you say boots, you mean hi-tops? If so, why do you prefer them?

shoes

I like the ankle support when lunging and pushing off the back foot. They also feel solid on my feet.

I find it's easier to turn an ankle in shoes.

Although, it seems to be hard to find fencing boots since coming back to fencing after a four year lay off.

Hi-Tops don't seem to be so popular anymore... and yeah, Adidas is mo def the skinny shoes... but with most other fencing shoes, if you lace them up tight enough, they should work. I've got narrow feet as well, but I've got a pair of Blades and they're working just fine after a little tightening.
