Wide feet here. Wide toe box changed everything for me (for altra torin). Went from suffering through 5-7k to enjoying 10-13km.
Everyone is different so worth going to a specialist.
Altra Torins are all I run in. I have super high arches plus wide front foot. I have 367ish miles on my current pair and am about to buy a new set to break in for a half marathon I'm running next month.
If it's any help, I dislike Torins and like Escalantes a great deal. Torins are too thick and I end up tripping when I wear them, but the Escalantes work great for me. I wouldn't call them barefoot at all, but if the Torins don't work for you there's still hope for the Escalantes.
Altra, love the zero drop too and have 6 pair of Torin that are only suitable for walking now. The recent editions of Torin weren't comfortable, so I went with Hoka. May have to try the Olympus.

Marathon workhorse, but loud and clunky at slow paces.
