Runners with wideish feet

New Balance Fresh Foam X 1080 in a wide fit. I’m on my second pair and they’re great!

Saucony in general, Hoka Clifton, and Altras. With the latter, be aware of the minimal footwear approach designed to make your feet work. Not just the low/no drop height but also less arch support. They’re a great shoe but you might need to gradually increase your use

some shoes start off fine and then end up giving me black toenails from my toes hitting the top.
That suggests to me that you need to size up, and try lacing your shoes differently.

Asics Novablast. Generous toebox, bouncy light and fun ride for everyday runs.

Mizuno Wave Ultima are quite wide and suitable for neutral gait.

I have flippers for forefeet (E/EE width) and these are comfortable.

That’s interesting. I have found them to be wide in the toe box but narrower at the heel, which suits me perfectly.

it def highlights the important of trying the shoes on before you buy them. What suits one person may not suit you. Go to a running Ning shop OP and try some shoes out.

I have wide forefeet and normal/narrow heels and ankles. I haven't bought running shoes for ages but the brands and models that worked best for me were Innov8 road shoes (lightweight but possibly not as bouncy as you like, OP) and New Balance - whichever ones are currently neutral and lightweight (maybe the Rebel?). I used to like the -90 series and picked up a few pairs of 590s for pennies in TK Maxx before I had two children and found myself with a bit less time for running, hence why I don't need new ones. Anyway, the really important thing for me is to relace the shoes to allow more space at the front while being able to tighten enough around the ankle. If you google 'lacing patterns for wide feet' you should get some ideas about what might work for you.

Altras. Ridiculously comfortable. I used to wear Brooks Ghost but they seem to have changed the last recently.

Conversely I found the Novablasts really narrow and I don’t even have especially wide feet! Funny how we’re all so different, which shows just how essential a proper gait analysis and fitting is OP - I would seek out your local independent running store.

Got fed up being left with boring black
Whenever I look for a new pair, they've nearly always got some pink on them. I don't like pink. My running clothes tend to be navy, black, orange or red.
I DO NOT WANT PINK RUNNING SHOES.

Sale Running Gear | Runners Need (search for sale Saucony shoes in my size gave 14 pairs, 9 were pink or with pink detail)

Wide size 8 here, Brooks glycerin - like wearing slippers!

I have wideish feet and like asics novablast 5s. I have a pair that I do most of my training runs in and I’ve just brought another for when they wear out.

I have wide feet and a neutral gait. My favourites are Hoka - I just run in wide fit Cliftons as I find they are cushioned enough for me although there are squishier shoes. I also have NB 860s in the extra wide fit but I don't find them anything like as bouncy as the Hokas.

I think what thus thread is showing, like walking boots, jeans, bikes and bras, you just need to try different styles/brands on, until you find the one that works for you. (If you are anywhere near Sheffield, go to Accelerate in Attercliffe).

Brooks ghost - I tried a lot in the shop years ago and these were fab, so have stuck with these for a few pairs. but I wear a size up from my regular shoes. I have very wide feet! Great customer service as when something on them broke after about a year they sent me a brand new pair!

I couldn’t get on with Brooks. My feet were just too wide. I loved Altra- specifically designed for women’s feet, light and low profile. They took a few runs fo get used to as they are very different from my modern trainers but I wore them throughout marathon training

I had Brooke Ghost. I had the men's ones as they are wider.

Inov8 Roadfly. The only brand I have found that can accommodate my bunions and run without pain.

New Balance 860
Brooks Adrenaline
Hoka Skyflow

Brooks Ghost for a long time in D width. Then realised I was an overpronator so bought a couple of pairs of more supportive ones they do.
Got fed up being left with boring black in Brooks as also have big feet so bought Saucony Guide 17 beginning this year. They are fine and come in wide fit but look massive. Can only see Guide 18s in black so may be looking again….,

The good thing about Brooks is that if you order from their site, you have 90 days to try out and then return.

I did a marathon in a pair of Ghost Max last year and then returned as I could see my foot turning inwards when wearing them. I had only worn them for a couple of 5ks beforehand so were still in good condition and at that point swapped for their more supportive shoes.

I've an old pair of Brooks adrenaline wide fit that are very comfy but feel a bit slow. Tried several sizes to get the new version but the fit felt completely wrong. I've now got 2 pairs of Nikes, regular fit but my wide feet are comfy in them - Pegasus 41s for when I want to be speedy, and Structure 26s cos I do need support shoes

I wear Asics and have gone back to the mens' ones, I wear size 8.5 in running shoes though, so am squarely in the mens' size range. I would recommend going to somewhere like Runners Need, they know their ranges well and will be able to help you find the best shoe for your feet (and gait)

Currently, On Cloudrunner 2 wide. I've previously worn wide Hokas, but since On started doing a wide fit I've found they suit me better
