hate the 18, 16 and 17 (stocked up 4 pairs, almost done them)

I have the same rotation and am also looking for wide super shoes because of a mild bunion. The Elite v4 irritates my left Achilles due to its hard heel counter. My current rotation further includes the Topo Atmos (wide enough, but not a racing shoe), the EP3 (too narrow), and the Saucony Ride 16 and 17 (Wide). I'm eagerly waiting for the RunRepeat review of the Elite v5, but I might go for the Cloudboom Strike (not the LS version). However, I'm concerned it might also have a problematic heel counter.

The Saucony Ride 17 in navy blue with the brown outsole is fire. I specifically bought it so that after retiring it I would be able to wear it casually.
