Fresh Foam X Hierro Mid Gore-Tex

New Balance 4e (x-wide), Dynasoft Nitrel v6 Gore-Tex trail runners.

New Balance Hierro x Fresh Foam goretex trail shoes. Feet are warm and dry! I just use my regular running socks with them.

Thank you! I’ve tried topo terra venture wide, way too narrow at the mid foot for me. I’ve also tried nb hierro in 4E and the toe box was too cramped, going to try the altra lone peak next, hopefully on wide version. Thanks for your suggestions.

I really struggled to replace my wide Speedgoat 4s, tried the Topo Ultraventure 2 but found the sole and the responsiveness lacking (other than looking distinctly boring). I ended up back with the Speedgoat 7, in wide, using heel lock lacing and that seems to have resolved most of my issues, but my toes still hammer the toe box on fast descents. I think I'll size up again next time. I also like the New Balance Hierro in wide, but had issues with the toe box after 20km or so. Definitely weird that there's not much choice here.

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.
