Cascadia 14

New Balance wide is usually very wide. Also available in Norway. I've also had the Brooks Cascadia in wide before that I also ordered on the Norwegian Brooks site.

Wide midfoot is a tricky one because a lot of “wide” trail shoes mainly add space in the toebox, not the midfoot. A few models that could fit: **Saucony Peregrine (wide)** Not the widest midfoot ever, but the wide version does give a bit more platform underfoot and the rock protection is pretty solid for technical trails. **Brooks Cascadia (wide)** Often recommended for people who want a bit more stability and protection on technical terrain. The platform is fairly stable for longer trail efforts. For what you described (technical sections + 50K distance + some overpronation), something like MTN Racer wide or Cascadia wide might be closer to what you’re looking for than Speedgoats. Also sometimes runners with wider midfeet have luck going half size up, since it can give a bit more volume through the midfoot area.

I will always pop up when this question is asked to recommend Brooks Cascadia wide. The current version is my favorite by far. I have yet to find a trail shoe that works better for my wide, flattish feet. I tried on the Speedgoat wide and knew immediately it wasn’t even close.

The Hoka Challenger wide also gave me blisters, even after I demoted them to a walking shoe. Brooks Cascadia wide work best for me.

The 6mm drop is new to this version of Cascadia! They’re my favorite version, easily.

I also love Cascadias, but I only use Salomon Speedcross for muddy conditions.

I wear Brooks Ghost 4E as my road running shoe. Brooks Cascadia 2E fits me well as my trail shoe (it has a wide toebox).

I love Cascadias but they’re unfortunately not quite as wide as Brooks wide road running shoes

I have very wide feet and really the only options are Topo and Altra which sucks because: 1. the low / no drop thing isn’t for everyone; 2. Neither make shoes with a drop larger than 5mm; and 3. The quality on Topo is underwhelming I overall like my Topos (LOVE the toe box - most comfortable I’ve ever tried in my life) but wish they had an 8mm drop shoe with a rock plate and also - they just fall apart kind of fast compared to other trail shoes. They’re a relatively new brand though so hopefully they keep getting better but tbh the improvement from the ultraventure 3 to 4 was non existent (2 to 3 got a little better). Brooks Cascadia comes in 2E and those shoes are sick. However, still not wide enough for me (and not as wide as the adrenalines which are my go to road shoe) and I’ve blown the sides out in 2 pairs although they held up extremely well for hiking running and backpacking other than that (which is because they’re not quite an ultra wide shoe despite being the widest non Altra or topo trail runner option I could find)

**Absolutely!** I’ve got wide/voluminous feet too and know the struggle. A few trail shoes that have worked really well for me (or others in the same boat): * **Altra Lone Peak** – Foot-shaped toe box, zero drop, super roomy. Great for comfort and natural splay. * **Topo Athletic Ultraventure or Terraventure** – Similar to Altra with a wide fit, but with a slight drop and more structure. * **HOKA Speedgoat (Wide version)** – Surprisingly comfy once broken in. The wide version gives more volume than you’d expect from HOKA. * **New Balance Hierro v7 (2E width)** – Cushioned, roomy, and solid grip for trails. * **Brooks Cascadia (Wide)** – Good all-rounder with trail stability and comes in wide sizes. Make sure to try them on if you can—volume fit can vary a lot even among “wide” shoes. Good luck out there! 👟🌲

Just got in some NB Hierro v9, 4E. Felt great on a little 5k break in run. The Cascadia 2E are just a hair to narrow for me when my feet start swelling
