"I think I have a similar foot to you - front is wide due to bunions but the rest of my foot is regular width. I absolutely love my Topos"

For Saucony you better look at the Xodus Ultra which is wider than the Peregrine.
r/trailrunning • Trail shoes for beginners with wide feet ->I have Xodus Ultra 2 and it works well enough for me. Is 3 a similar fit?
r/trailrunning • Trail running shoes with a wide toe box ? ->Bought 2 pairs of Xodus Ultra (ver 1) from Flipkart 2 years ago. Still going strong. Also there used to be a Saucony showroom on F C road near hotel Lalit Mahal - though not sure if it's still there.
r/indianrunners • Need recommendation for trail running shoe in India ->I personally prefer Xodus. It has Saucony's racing foam that's surrounded by a firmer foam. People have completed UTMB wearing that shoe so should be OK for Sahyadri trails. Fujispeed is good as well, but since it's plated, it's a little aggressive. It's designed for speed - it's even in the name. It's less than ideal for casual use. Depends entirely on your use case.
r/indianrunners • Need recommendation for trail running shoe in India ->Hey 👋🏼 thought I’d share my experience with them: https://www.alastairrunning.com/saucony-xodus-ultra-4-review/ - my YouTube review drops on Sunday: https://youtube.com/@alastair.running - let me know if you have any questions on them ✌🏼
r/trailrunning • Saucony Xodus Ultra 4? ->My go to for 50k and under. The xodus is also a great shoe with some more cushion, they are bulkier and you’ll want to heal lock them if your heal is rolling on downhills.
r/trailrunning • Saucony peregrine for techy downhills? (Will my ankles be ok?!) ->Fan of peregrine and even had those older model exodus (the tanks!) and liked them, but something didn’t click for me in the Xodus Ultra. Really wanted to love them. But I just always felt flat running in them, and failed to get a lockdown fit. Nowadays prefer shoes with a bit more flexibility too. Such an odd experience considering the rave reviews! Glad they worked out for someone though!

r/trailrunning • 🏆 To the best trail runners ever made.. ->You might be happy with Saucony Xodus Ultra 4. I’m not sure they make them in wide, but the standard fit is comfortable for my wide feet!
r/trailrunning • Wide toe box but NO zero drop recommendations ->Most importantly - one that fits… For me; that’s Saucony. I daily the ride 17, RR in EE and trails are the Xodus Ultra 3.
r/ultrarunning • Best Shoe for First Ultra Trail 60k? ->Wha! Megagrip on Xodus? I gotta get some duck tape to make my current pair last til June now.
r/trailrunning • 🏆 To the best trail runners ever made.. ->I have had a few trail running shoes. Xodus Ultra, Lone Peak, Terrex Agravic Speed, and now Speedgoats. They are all so different. Road shoes seem to be convalescing around some common principles related to uppers and midsoles, but trail shoes are still all over the place. I like a good heel counter in a trail shoe. Right now my favorites are my Speedgoat 5s. They were half the price of the Speedgoat 6 and they are really comfortable.
