I am still a baby trail runner. I have worn through asics Trabuco max 4. I sized up to get the width, but I'm having the issue of when my foot slides forward the laces cut off circulation and my feet go numb. I have gotten my feet scanned, but my issue is most stores don't carry wide or Extra wide sizes and my feet are too small to try on men's shoes in store.
The Trabuco Max's don't have extended sizes. I ordered new balance hierros and the toe protection is too firm and rubs my big toes.
I've tried topo athetics and I loved the toe box, but the wide were still too narrow in the mid sole.
I feel like I'm stuck the nightmare of Cinderella.
At this point I think my size is 8 or 8.5 Extra wide. Please help 🙏
The topos I tried were the mtn racer 4, Terra venture 5 and the aura for a road option. Loved the toe space, but were too restricting in the rest of the foot.
Also a Topos lover! The Terraventure 4 is my favorite, the 5 is narrower which I hate. But the wide toe box and low drop is great. I’ve added a gel insole for long city walks but otherwise I love them and I got my partner hooked on them too. Altras just don’t feel quite right, though I keep trying them.
In general, not specific to that shoe. As the other commenter said, they fill with water and don’t drain. They also make your feet hot. I only use them in snow since the warmth is a bonus at that point and snow melt will freeze your feet.

Versatile road-to-trail, but struggles on wet, technical downhills.
