Wide running shoes recommendations?

3 years ago by Jonatan to c/running

Hi,

I've been having issues with blisters between my toes. The toes rub together I suppose, and for longer runs, this causes issues.

I think I need wider shoes. I've been running in the "Hoka bondi 7 wide", and recently got the altra Turin 6.. The altras as ok for width, but the lack of drop makes my heel hurt.. Any ideas of very wide shoes with some drop?

I should say I love the hokas in every aspect aside from them being too narrow in the toe box.

I use a combination of Brooks Ghost and toe socks. For me this works well. For ultra runs, too. Previously I had Asics Nimbus, unfortunately, these are (starting with the 24 model) significantly narrower in the toe area. Even the wide version is felt narrower than the original, no idea why such an intrusive change was made.

I'm also running in Brooks Ghost wide. They fit great.
