Which boots for narrow heels?

Which brands would accommodate someone with narrow heels?

I’m currently on a Salomon Synapse.  Boots that worked in the past.  Burton Moto, Burton Driver (slight heel lift) & Vans 1st Gen Boa Contra.  Out of those boots, my favorite was the Moto.  It had the best value and it fit great, but that pair was from 2000 when Burton had the step-in design.

I heard that Salomon were particularly good for narrow heals, although I’m yet to try them. 32 have quite a wide heel as do Northwave boots. I’ve got pretty narrow heels and achilies (don’t think that’s spelt right.. appologies), and for me it’s all about the Vans boots, I’ve never had any heel lift. The liners also have a the ‘Asym-X heel-holding technology’ which pads out the areas around your ankle and your achilies. I ride the Andreas Wiig, but the Cirro have Boa and Customisable Asym-X heelhold… those should sort out your heel hold issues… might empty your wallett too!
