FWD VIA

You'll make it worse by not wearing shoes with correct width (although I am not a doctor so please take this with a grain of salt). What I know about bunions from Orthos I have spoken to is the taper (or pointy-ness) of the toe box in the shoe is what causes it, because it squeezes your toe joints together. The Tailor's bunion is a little more uncommon. If you are liking the Rebel it comes in a wide width which might be worth a try (again wide, but not wide). Other shoes that come to mind that are soft and fit slightly wider would be Saucony Triumphs, Altra FWD Via, Mizuno Neo Vista v2 (these have a weird upper, I would def try them on).

Altra FWD VIA. Was a decades long Brooks Ghost user, but switched from more rural to urban running and the Ghosts were giving me blisters that wouldn’t resolve. Got fitted for Altras and they’ve been working out great.

They’re all good for me! I think the newer versions of Altras are less roomy. I think the torins and maybe lone peaks are more roomy. I wouldn’t use lone peak for road running anyway. If you don’t want zero drop the fwd via or experience flows are great. I’ve heard the flow 3s are quite narrow on the mid foot. I have the 1s and love them. I usually get men’s for a wider fit but I’m ok with the women’s too. I really only need the width on the bunion so all the altras have worked for me there.

I’ve only ever run in Altras but I love them! Torin is a good starting point but I’ve been happy with my FWDs as well if you don’t want zero drop. Also I recently got the experience wilds for trail and love them!! I did size up in those.

wide flat feet here, i personally love my altra fwd via's

Your choices are basically Topo and Altra. My daily drivers are the Altra FWD Via 2. I absolutely adore this shoe. The original FWD Via was fine, I liked them well enough, but the new version is IMO a massive upgrade. They're max cushion, if you want something a bit more sleek the Experience Flow is similar. I have a pair of Topo Specter 2s as well which I quite like, but they do tend to pick up gravel. Other brands that people claim have a "wide toebox" usually just means a more forgiving upper (look at the measurements of the shoes they've cut in half on RunRepeat) and they're still pointed in the toe like a traditional shoe. That works for some people and is worth trying on if you're in a store etc, but if you're explicitly seeking out a wide toe box I'd be skeptical you'll find what you want there.
