I have flat wide feet and I overpronate like you. The NB 860 (fresh foam yes) are great, and the 8 mm drop doesn't cause any issues. They're a dream to run in on the treadmill (I'm not an outdoors runner), and I even took them on vacation to Thailand where I did a lot of walking. Not foot or ankle pain at all. You should give them a try
I'm having issues too! Brooks really changed the shape of their shoes after 21. The adrenaline 21gts was my favorite. And I would pick the glycerin over adrenaline these days. I really liked the new balance 860 and just bought a 880 pair off mercari. The ones I've been recommended but have not tried is the asics gel kayano, new balance 1080, new balance 880.
Currently running in Nike pegasus 39 (felt horrible for the first 100 miles, but the foam got better with time) and I'm liking it in my rotation right now. Have 280+ miles on it
Puma velocity nitro 2 - love hate relationship but seems to flare up plantar fascitis being a narrow midfoot. can't wait to retire this shoe, just crossed 100 miles
Saucony kinerva - not liking the low drop but breathed new life to it by putting in super feet inserts and we're tolerating right now. Probably retiring them out soon too due to too many miles (everyday wear, plus I run in them. They're prolly already dead) 120 running miles but probably 300+ walking miles
I liked the Novablast 5 but didn’t work for me and my Greek toe. I love the EVO SL. They’re light on the feet and have a great return of energy when running. I haven’t tried the 1080s but I did try, Rebel V5, 860s and neither one worked for me. Yes they were comfortable, but the rebel ran small and the 860s felt heavy and sluggish. ON hasn’t even been on my radar. I have a wide foot an even though the Evo SL don’t come in wide, they are perfect.
Ooo this is my territory! I've tried out dozens of shoes and found that 90% of "wide" shoes aren't that wide all the way through. A wide toe box doesn't cut it.
I LOVE New Balance Fresh Foam 880s and 860s in D-width (wide). They also come in E (extra wide). I cut the elastic that connects the tongue to the sole because i find it constricting. For trail, Altra Lone Peak D-width. Some people will say that all Altras are "wide-fitting": don't fall for it. If you actually have wide feet you probably need a wide (D or E width) size.
I know a lot of women suggest trying men's shoes, but I have small feet so my shoe size doesn't overlap with men's.
