Lone Peak 9 Women's

😂 Not sure why I'd get downvoted for that! They work great for me, in my actual experience, for the same types of urban & gentle outdoors environments the OP listed. Of course, for more serious hiking on longer or rougher trails, I wear Altra trail runners. Oh, hey look, Altra has started offering more neutral colors! https://www.rei.com/product/242066/altra-lone-peak-9-trail-running-shoes-womens

Another vote for Lone Peaks + Darn Toughs. I'll also say that the "9+" with the Vibram soles last MUCH much longer than the non-Vibram versions - none of my non-Vibram versions lasted more than 500miles whereas my Vibram soles are still pretty good after doing 700miles (obvs not all miles are equal, but still, would highly recommend going for the Vibram soles). ETA ultimately you're gonna have to try on a bunch of different shoes to find one made from a last that fits your feet. I tried other wide-foot shoes, even other Altras, and they all caused issues.

I'm in almost the same exact situation as you and I've been doing a LOT of measuring and comparing "wide" shoes lately. Firstly, I found the same as you: Lems are NOT wide. They're not narrow, but they're absolutely not wide either. I found Lems to consistently be 0.5 sizes smaller than I needed (meaning I had to size up 0.5 sizes to get my 'true' length). Even then, when the length was correct, my toes were pressed next to each other. No overlapping, but absolutely no ability to splay. Even going up a whole size further didn't help. I found, and this may not be what you're looking for exactly, is that Altra Lone Peak 9 and 9+s in **WIDE** were the widest-fit toe box and allowed the best splay of my toes. Not perfect, but objectively the maximum distance between toes out of everything I tried. The best ratio I was able to get for the Altra Lone Peaks was size down half a size from my usual but in size wide. This had the best length-to-width fit for my feet as the wides tend to feel a bit longer than non wides. Altra confirmed the wide size is both wider in the midfoot and in the toe box. For context, I tried many gym shoes, sneakers, and hiking shoes from Altra, Xero, Vivo, Topo, Whitins, and Lems. Additionally, I was not considering any leather shoes and I was primarily looking for sneakers / shoes not boots, so I did not consider Softstar and I'm in the US so I did not consider Realfoot (though they seem awesome!). Hope this helps!

I ran 600 km in my Lone peak 6 and now I use them for walking around town everyday

My altra lone peak 9’s have a few hundred rounds in them and going strong. Might not be minimalist enough for you though.

REI is having its 20% off one item sale this week. Go get a good pair of shoes. Whatever best fits your foot. I just did my first hike in Altra Lone Peak 9’s yesterday. They were fantastic. But obviously you need a shoe that fits your foot. With the REI 20% sale and the 10% rebate on top of that you’re looking at real close to $100 for top of the line shoes when all is said and done. Good luck

My Altra LP 9’s started showing signs of wear after about 80 miles of White Mountain terrain. Soles are noticeably less grippy than when new and some of the seams are starting to show initial signs of separation. I fully do not expect to get 400 miles out of them on these trails. YMMV

As the other commenter said- you are overthinking this. Any trail runner will be fine. Get a color you like in a model that fits your foot and be done with it. I use my Altra Lone Peaks for all of that and more.

These and Hoka's didn't fit me in 4E but Altra's Lone Peak 9s in 4E did. I think the 9s are a little wider than the 8s.
