I own 3 pairs: New Balance Mid Hiero GTX, Adidas Mid Terrex Free Hiker 2 GTX and Salomon Low Cut X Ultra 4 GTX. All great choices.
I’m tried the speedgoat wide and it’s not very wide at all. The Topo Mtn Racer 4 wide is wider. (Narrowest) Speedgoat wide <<< Mtn Racer 4 wide <= Altra LP normal < Ultraventure wide <= Altra LP wide (widest) Somewhere in there is the Hierro 4E, but that is so high volume without being all that wide in the forefoot.
Pro tip from a 30+ year disc golfer... Any shoe you buy for disc golf that you plan on A: keeping and B: Waterproof should have 3 things..a Shoe Goo mod, a Gore-tex lining and have a Vibram sole. Get some shoe goo and add it to the entire toe cap and every single seam on the shoe, even brand new shoes. When the sole wears out, get a new shoe. The Shoe Goo prevents leakage and separation. If it starts to wear through add more Goo. Vibram last the longest and Gore-tex is good for winter and summer. Just don't wear black socks in the summer get some gray ones. Lem's soles wear out too fast. My favorite ever is the New Balance X Hierro Mid GTX Trail Running Shoe. Ankle support, Vibram, Gore-tex, arch support, thicker heel and light. Add shoe goo to all that and you got 2-2.5 years of disc golfing with dry feet. I like Merrel for all of this but their shoes are just too damn heavy and the tread is too sticky for good pivoting.
I do New Balance Hierro in wide; new balance- for me - has offered the ankle support I “need” while I try to get more familiar with zero drop feel.
New Balance Hierro’s. I’m blessed with the big/heavy so my ankles are taking a lot of pressure. Most running stores place me in a stable ankle with their observations, videos, imprint tests. New balance is (unfortunately… because they’re unattractive, IMO) the only shoe that gets wide enough for a tailors AND a hallux bunion. Did I mention blessed? lol. I, working on all of my stuff so it doesn’t take me out - in the mean time - I also like a vibram partnership… they really do feel like the Goodyear for the shoe. For my road runs- I’m moving toward Altra’s zero drop gradually. Hard on these calves but there’s probably some foot relieve there, too.
I have wide feet and NB Hierros in wide work well for me. Ran a trail race in them this weekend.
I’ve got both the asics trabuco gtx 12 and the new balance hierro goretex. Both are great shoes I bought on discount. The asics are a bit more sturdy, harder grip and less breathable whereas the new balance I would wear to work on a rainy day
New Balance Hierro x Fresh Foam goretex trail shoes. Feet are warm and dry! I just use my regular running socks with them.
New Balance 4e (x-wide), Dynasoft Nitrel v6 Gore-Tex trail runners.
I can thoroughly recommend the New Balance X Hierro. I've got odd get so I'm wedded to the New Balance 860 2E 8.5 shoes but needed something grippier for winter. I was persuaded to try size D 9.5 in the shop and they are brilliant. Especially in goretex, your feet stay bone dry. I referee in them as well and they're great, really stable.
I’m a huge fan of the New Balance Fresh Foam X Hierro trail runners
