running shoes advice. looking for lightweight and roomy toebox.

[Anonymous]

i mostly walk in them anyway. I am overwhelmed by all of the choices. I love the feel of Brooks Launch 3 but would like to try something new, in part because they are ugly and didn't last very long.

Thanks!

NOT Nike. I've found them to be the narrowest of all the running shoes I've ever worn. I like the Brooks Ravenna which is not as lightweight/quasi-minimal as the Launch. I've never had toe bix issues with Asics or Saucony although I feel that they are a little stiff underfoot.

I'm obsessed with my Hokas.

New Balance are known for a roomy toebox. I like my Rykas for walking.

I just want to commiserate. I'm trying to find the right shoe and I am struggling.

I just ordered the Mizuno Wave Rider 20. Very comfy. We'll see how it works out when I run....

I was going to suggest Nike. Yes, it is narrow in the heel, but the toe box is wide imo. I've got bunions so I need a wide toe box. I used to wear reeboks because they also have a wide toe area, but switched to Nike when i started training for my last marathon because they were so much lighter than the reeboks. The nikes performed so well during training and the marathon (no blisters on toes) that I just got a new pair.

Asics have wider toeboxes in general, but many of their models come with hefty pricetags.

Altra shoes (1.0 or 1.5) - look funny but they have the best toe box around

I love my Brooks Pureflow 6 running shoes. My foot is wide across the toes and these shoes fit me perfectly. They're super lightweight.

I use Asics. I have a "tall" big toe, and find that Asics are the most comfortable for me.

Brooks for sure- but don't recall the style.

I've gotten blood blisters with other brands but not with Nike Frees. They have a narrow heel and roomy toe box.

Asics. Most comfortable running shoes ever.

I am the exact opposite.
