I’ve tried some wide and extra wide of shoes, but the footbed seems the same no matter what I try.

Are there any running shoes with a wider footbed? Not sure if this is the proper term. I’m thinking of the molded bottom portion of the shoe. Where it curves up on the side of the toe box is what is giving me trouble.

I bought some sneakers from Orthofeet and they’re decent, but not designed for running.

Any trail shoes going to be added to this list? Does any of the Hoka or Inov8 wide’s make the grade?

What are some of the lightest wide foot stability shoe?
I’ve find it a nightmare to look for these trainers for race day.

Thanks for introducing me to Brooks – had never heard of them but the morning after reading this article came across a pair on sale at 50% off. Great fit and nice arch support, much better than Asics, and a total bargain!

Have you come across any wide “all-weather” shoes either for road or trail running? All of the GTX versions that I’ve come across made by the likes of Hoka and Brooks only come in the standard width, even though the non-GTX versions come in multiple widths. I live in a place that can be pretty wet 8 or 9 months of the year.

Some really useful info. Thanks for keeping it updated, as I have this page bookmarked. Dare I mention that Mizuno have 2e sizes also. I’d be interested in your review of them. At the moment I have tried Hoka Rincon 3 2e – gave pain on the outside edge of my feet (not wide enough?). Saucony Ride 14 2e – made my feet numb after about 7-8k. Brooks Adrenalin GTS 2e – gave me callouses and blisters in forefoot and toes. NB 880 v12 2e – weirdly not long enough (and not a fun shoe to run in), whereas the NB1080 v11 2e were absolutely fine and I’ll be going back to them (if I can find the v12 or 13 cheap – I find the latest shoes a bit on the expensive side for me). I’d like t try the Adidas range, but have found that their normal / fashion trainers run narrow for me anyway and they are difficult to fin in 2e sizes at a price I can afford in the UK/

Nimbus 25 is has a narrower fit than the Pegasus 40. Nimbus 25 2E is like standard width. Saucony Endorphin series also have narrow fit and so does Hoka. This is a very misleading article.

I’ve been running in the NB 1080v12 wides (2E) for several years now. Just switched over to the Hoka Mach 5 wides. Enjoying the Mach 5s. Lightweight and very responsive. Also more breathable than the 1080v12s. I live in Hawaii so breathable shoes are a must. I have no arches (flat feet). Basically that rectangular shape foot you mentioned. Anyways maybe try the Hoka Mach5s. Just waiting for Hoka to release a wide version of the Mach X.

Great reviews. Do you have recommendations for a running shoe that specializes in a wide midfoot area? Think rectangular shape foot. New Balances just don’t work for me. The barefoot shoes are terrible and make me trip over my own feet. Hoka fits in toe box but the midfoot area is way too narrow. I would spend $500+ on a shoe that fits.
