Experience Wild 3

exp wide 3 has a 4mm drop, so closer to other standard drop brands, not really low drop. i wear exp wild 2’s and altra olympus 6 & 275 which are true zero drop. i’d give yourself a couple of hours per day & building up - if i wear the ew2’s for 5 days straight my first day in oly’s gives me some pain in the top of my foot and top of fib, but just for a day. some people new to the altra toebox width can benefit from toesox to pack it out - you may be experiencing some growing pains, give them a solid go before you chuck em out

I tried a pair and really liked them, but after only 250 miles they were beat to hell and falling apart. Not durable at all. Switched to another brand since.

I too tried Altra’s and had issues in this same area. Gave it a handful of runs thinking it might be break-in period, but it never went away or got better. Ended up returning them.

Probably too short... want a full fat thumb up front, especially for that rocker... I go up an extra half size with the wild 3

You have a wide foot, the Experience Wild doesn't come in a wide option... and also runs kinda short. What do you think happened that made that seem like a good shoe to try? Try a lone peak in the WIDE option... you want zero drop and know you need wide. Easy

I just went from timp 5 to wild experience 3’s

Any of the Altra “Experience” line. They are 4mm drop with the same wider toe box. Topo wouldn’t work for me because though they have a roomy toe box, the midfoot and heel is actually regular to narrow, so my arch area would hang over the midsole and they just weren’t comfortable. I even tried the “wide” versions of Topos and they still had the same issue. I would really recommend trying some other brands that aren’t an “anatomical” toe box but do have wide sizes available. If you go with a 2E or 4E size, you will probably be fine even if it’s not a “foot shape” shoe. I really love Altras shape for my foot, but the midsole geometries/rocker/foam/cushion just aren’t my favorite. Check out the New Balance Hierro, that’s available in 2E and 4E width. Also Brooks has trail models in wide as well as Hoka.

I found for the Altra Experience Wild I had to go up half a size to get the right fit. Maybe try that? Mount To Coast T1 might be worth a look, I think it’s a decently wide toe box. I also think a lot of On shoes have a roomy forefoot.

Altra has their Experience Wild 3, which is a 4mm drop. I have the original Experience Wild and it works well for my wide foot, though I did have to go up half a size in that shoe vs my other Altras.

Altra Experience Wild are 4mm drop

Various Altra models. Lone peak series are pretty decent. However, for comfort for 50ks and longer, I have been using the Altra Mont Blanc Carbons. More response and better all day comfort. The Exoerience series are pretty decent, my boys run trails races those and love them.
