Cascadia 14

Agree here. My dad purchased a pair of Merrell Bravada trail runners for me one year probably because they were on sale and honestly they worked great. I know Merrell isn’t fancy but they get the job done for me. I’ve used brooks cascadias 14, Altras lone peak 8, etc. as well and truly have no preference for one over the other.

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.

Also a woman with a really wide foot that likes a higher drop. I have liked the Nike zegama and Nike Ultra fly in mens sizing. I don't think they do a wide woman's and from what I understand the mens version is built off a wider base. The ultra fly in particular is one of the best fitting shoes for me I've ever tried. The shoe actually looks like my foot if that makes sense at all. Whereas I feel like Topo looks like what they think a foot looks like. I've been chasing that good a fit in a non carbon plated shoe for years. Zegama comes close, but not quite as good. I have also had luck with the brooks cascadia in wide... However it's pretty stiff, capable work horse kind of shoe. As mentioned I'm not that hot on Topos but I have had luck with the Vistas after trying and failing with a few of their other models. Good luck! 😊

OP this here. I'm a crappy foot person with wide feet and hard to fit high volume of feet over the arches. Brooks Cascadia (Wide) are the only shoe I have found that work reliably for me. No clue why a salesperson would think the toe box on Cascadia is too narrow if it's a wide spec shoe. I'm a dude, but it's really worth a shot. Make sure to try them yourself.

Can't speak specifically on 100s, but I've paced 40mi in Brooks Cascadia, sized wide, for my hobbit ballerina-shaped feet and they are quite good.  Cascadia 19 was a good update...cush but not floaty.  And the Cascadia soles are indestructible compared to whatever cake icing Hoka uses these days for lugs.

\+1. I have similar foot shape as OP, and have tried nearly a dozen different shoe models in recent years...and keep coming back to the Cascadia as the best fit/compromise. The 19 was a very good update too, though the heel got a smidge looser, but it is an excellent and very durable shoe.
