My HF shovel is 6" wide on the top which I feel is just a bit too wide and am considering narrowing it. Has anyone come up with a sweet spot on a shovel width? I'm thinking about 4.5" which would give my foot purchase and not degrade strength of the blade much.
 
This is one that I narrowed like you're talking about.
