I use Topo Magnifly for zero drop and wide toe box but they do have more cushion. They also make the ST-6 which is more minimal.

I have a very wide foot. For trail running I wear Altra-they are widen enough for my 9EE. I buy a men’s so I can get a bit more width. For road shoes I like Topo.

Topos over Altras. They aren't zero drop and have better cushion so more like normal run shoes. But much wider toebox.

I have found that a wide toebox helps. I’m mostly recovered and able to run now. I run in Topos for the wide toe box. Altars don’t fit me, but folks love them. I also run in Cliftons. They are not specifically a wide toe box shoe, but it is wide enough for me and the shock absorption is great.

My PF caused bone deterioration on my heel bone. I found out that my perimenopausal self was super low in vit B and therefore not absorbing calcium. I got that sorted, also had surgery with included platelet therapy and therefore thing they do with the grid pattern of needles. They also removed my spur (rip). I wore a boot for about 8 weeks or more. Then Graston started really working for me and hot yoga. I also only lift barefoot now or in barefoot shoes. I am now able to run a piddly 10 miles per week. I find running faster to be easier on my foot.

Also- I wear the curex run pro insoles. It adds an annoying extra expense. Curiously, I haven’t been wearing them in my hokas. For reference when I was down bad I couldn’t even walk and would be on the ground crying after attempting to run 10 steps.

Did you ever find an answer? I don't like zero drop, but love a wide toe box, topo are my go to.

You might try Topo Athletic. Same foot shape/wide toe box, but better arch support and not zero drop (protect those Achilles tendons).

Topo Athletic, mountain racer, ultra venture and the phantom are my favorites. They easily last me 800 miles of comfort. The laces never come undone and the uppers have never gotten holes.

Just want to second Topo for a wide toe box, they are great! They also come in a variety of support levels, with the more cushiony ones providing me the arch support I need for running on harder surfaces.
