Saucony - Excursion TR17 GTX

I have the same problems..very wide midfoot.  Tried altras and I split them open within a months.  Live in new Zealand and our bush is very unforgivibng..wet rocks and logs.   I tried a pair of Saucony excursion TR17 and they have been great and feels secure and hasn't split.  But....and a big one .I slip and slide all over the place and I have no trust and I'm left behind my friends cause I can't Keep up as I slip.  Note here in NZ we dont get every shoe type and model.

Kind of niche but I have wide feet and I wanted a pair of shoes for my upcoming trip to hopefully alleviate the typical foot pain that occurs a few days in. I was randomly browsing various retailers last night and these went on sale today. Bonus points that they are among the lesser ugly shoes fitting my criteria and work with the FF25MAR code, bringing the total down to $67.48 before tax. Shipping was $5 for me (free over $99) but in store pickup was free. Shoes feel pretty comfy and accommodate my wide feet. Probably could have sized down a half size but should work with my likely to be swollen feet.

I wear a size 12 wide in NB, Nikes are too narrow for my feet and I've never tried ASICS. I would say I am a size 12E with flat feet. The shoes are tad bit long, so probably could've sized down 0.5 on that front and it is slightly narrow in the midfoot due to my flat feet but not uncomfortable.

Saucony Tr excursions, super light, super comfy, and you rammed down with some good waterproofer you can’t go wrong.

I personally love Saucony Excursions. For the money ($75) they are a great shoe, breathable and tough.

I have Saucony Endorphins (racing) and Excursions which I thought I would use on rainy days. However the tread on the Excursions is pretty aggressive, not the most comfortable for running imo. Although I have a gortex version, so my main issue is it’s non breathable. I wouldn’t recommend them if you’re doing just road running, but they are great for trails and on icy days.

I probably have a shoe problem… Trail- - 2x Saucony Peregrines - one is a half size larger to accommodate double socks for winter running - Saucony Excursion trail - “emergency sneakers” purchased on a work trip. Not my faves. - some Merell ‘barefoot’ things that are nice for soft and sandy pine forest floors and not much else. - Merell MOAB sneakers for hiking Road - Saucony Kinvara - I 90% love these but sometimes my toes go numb. Wanting to try some Brooks but they sell out so damn fast Gym - New Balance Minimus. I lovvvvveee these. I feel so grounded and sturdy

Salomon Gore Tex sneakers. My second choice are Saucony Gore Tex sneakers.
