I can't speak to the Lake boots, but I just got a pair of their lower-end road shoes in a men's wide, and they're not too wide in the heel for my narrow heels. (They do make women's shoes and I'm pretty sure boots too, but not in EE. As I said on FB, you can't spell "feet" without "EE."
)
I think Colby had the same experience, she's the one who turned me on to them. I've got the strap closest to the ankle cinched tighter than it's probably really supposed to go, but they work. I've climbed a couple of reasonably steep hills in them and my heels didn't pop out.
I don't have that many miles on them yet and I'm having to make some extra effort to unclip, but I think it's because I'm so long in the toe that the cleats are just farther back on my foot than they were on my old too-small shoes, rather than heel slop accounting for it. I may wind up taking a Dremel tool to the cleats so that I can move them a little farther up. (Anyone ever try that on a Look cleat???)
