Narrow heals
![[Deleted User]](https://wb.vanillicon.com/b399969764f995e223e1f47510f11bcb_100.png)
Fancy getting back into running after a few years absence but I need a shoe that is suitable for narrow heals (no motion control needed and I have a normal foot). I don't fancy going through the endless taping-up ceremony every time I go out, which I used to have to do with my old Jazz 5000's. Any ideas would be most appreciated. Thanks.

Have you tried doing your laces up with a loop round the top two holes to tighten up the heel a bit more? I usually have to buy some longer length laces, but it does the job.
Lace the shoes normally until the last hole. Instead of crossing the laces from side to side, put them down the hole on the same side, then cross the laces over and loop them through the little loop you've just made. Pull tight and it should pull the heel round your foot.
The Nike Air Span might do, although I found the new Air Althea (the female equivalent) unpleasantly soggy generally.
The only way you'll find out is by going to a specialist running shop and trying everything on.
