Saucony Kinvara 16 when I'm running outside. Trying out the Altra Escalante Racer 2 as my treadmill shoe. These are little interesting because of the wide toe box. They feel great though.
I never got more than 300 out of my Brooks, but replacing them every 6 weeks/two months was getting excessive. Switched to Altra Escalante Racers and get 450.
Altra Escalantes!! I’ve gone through 4 pairs of Escalante 3s, and just got the 4s (they’ve been out for a while), and I might love them even more. The Escalante Racers are also 👌🏼for speed work.
I don't even love the actual shoe but fitwise, Torin 8 is perfect for my generally a bit wide and def quite wide forefoot. I imagine Lone Peak and Paradigm would be the same but I personally dont need those shoe types. It's kinda frustrating Altra has such a limited selection of 2E. I enjoyed the feel of Experience Flow & Escalante Racer but had to return, just didn't work without the 2E
Topo has a nice wide, rounded toebox. But frustratingly there, a very narrow midfoot
If you wanna stick with a regular shoe brand, a lot of NB shoes are wider than average. I'm using Rebel v5 rn
Altra Escalante Racers have been my go-to for the last 4 years as my daily shoes, they hold up incredibly well and have a natural foot shape which fits my wide feet.
The carbon plates in some brands are nice, but not typically made as daily use shoes. If you want to spend $200+ on just a pt pair of shoes, saucony endorphin or the Nike vapor fly are both great as race shoes.
