SOLE TOO Narrow: Shoe

I bought these off my favorite Mx20v4 training shoe which I use 3-4 times a week solely for CrossFit. Was looking for a new pair but settled on these. The sizing and fit are similar to the v4, but there is one distinct difference between them - the outsole is SO narrow. I read about them in advance and even ordered wide ones, but they were still so narrow. I measured the outsole width of my old 20v4s and this one and the v6 is a half inch narrower in the heel and midfoot than the v4. I don't have very wide feet, but my foot protruded like the top of a bun past the edges of the sole, which made them practically useless in my opinion. I was so disappointed. I know NB has started slimming their shoes and I have no idea why. Maybe they're copying ASICS. I would have skipped them and looked at the Mx40 in WIDE I would have bought, but here they were in reserve.

Pros
  • Finally bought
Cons
  • Can I add
