*gazes at the hole in the left toe of my La Sportiva Barracudas and weeps softly*
I found my perfect shoes.
Just in time for them to be discontinued.
They're very narrow, the heel fits me, and the laces mean I can tighten them round the arch in particular, and lock them in place tightly enough that they don't come off when I heel-hook (which almost all other shoes seem to do). And they hit a nearly perfect balance between sensitive/smeary and edgy for me.
I'm going to try and get them resoled, but if that doesn't work I'm hoping that the lace-up Katanas might be a substitute (the Barracudas were built on a modified Katana last).
