    It’s insane how narrow most shoes are. Wide feet are literally more natural and healthier feet. Feet are supposed to be wide…

      I’m with you. These show are so….narrow. I tried in store the 1080 v13,too narrow. I only found the 880 wide to provide decent comfort.

      The stupid shoe conglomerates think that making shoes look "sexy" are the way to go. I've banged up my feet my whole life as a teenager while I was ignorant of having the right shoes that fit for me as I have wide feet. It's only now as an adult that I know which shoes fit me best thanks to an advise by a good friend to look for shoe reviews prior to purchasing.

    There's also something to consider: wide vs. high volume feet. Most 2E running shoes simply add fabric to the upper to wrap around the wider foot better, but this strategy works best if you have high volume feet and not a wide-spread forefoot because the platform is still the same platform as the D width. Only when the shoe goes up to 4E does the platform change width, but these will only fit super wide and/or super high volume feet.
    If you have a regular volume midfoot and heel (and therefore not a high volume foot), but simply have a wide forefoot, using Altra or Topo seems to be the only way to go except in a few other models of shoes from other manufacturers. The taper on most toe boxes just makes most running shoes uncomfortable for people with wide feet. Pinkie toes get smashed and eventually burst out the sidewall, or the medial edge of the big toe gets blisters as it constantly rubs against the edge of the insole and the medial sidewall.
    I blame wearing Birkenstocks throughout my adolescence for my wide forefoot with ample toe splay. Unfortunately, I can't wear most shoes from most running shoe manufacturers. Right now I run with Topo Pursuit for the trails and there's enough room for my foot (I wear sz 10 in Topo where I have to wear at least 10.5 in other manufacturers). On roads, I run in NB Rebel v2 but have to run in size 11D. I tried wide version of the Rebel v1 but there was too much fabric and my foot sloshed side to side on corners. I tried wide version of Saucony Peregrine, but the toe box platform was still too narrow and the fabric on the upper was just loose so I had to crank the laces hard. Strangely, old v30 of Pegasus used to have a wider toe box, as well as the Nike Elite tempo shoe (it had a semi-curved last that accommodated wide forefoot much better than most Nike shoes). I tried Altra shoes in the past, but while the width in the forefoot was good, the quality control wasn't and the sizing also varies widely from model to model.
    One (less popular) path you could try if you have a wide foot but regular foot volume: run in Vibram five fingers or Shamma sandals, which have the ability to accommodate the wider forefoot, but have very little cushioning underfoot. I run in both periodically and this solves the width problem (I still need to alternate with shoes with more cushioning because I'm getting older).

      Just bought some V2's in the outlet for £67. Taking them out this week to see how I get on. Wanted to try the wide but they didn't have any instore so I sized up after trying half a size and a full size up. Put them side to side with some half up Peg 35 that i've loved (after a tough time with a tts 37) and there's not much in it. Just fancied a shoe for the faster runs with less weight. Never full sized up in anything before so i'm still trying to get my head around it. Annoying juxtaposition you are in when you sit somewhere between normal and wide.
      Reassuring to read someone else full size up.

    I knew before you even mentioned the second shoe what it was. 1080,s all the way. I wear a UK 9 and a half and go with the 2E because I also wear orthotics. I can get the 1080's in version 11 for €113 here in an NB outlet store. Think their great value. So if anyone else has problems with finding a shoe suitable for orthotics they should give them a try. Great video as always Chris and I hope your feeling a bit better. Stay safe.

  • @movdqa
    @movdqa Год назад +1

    New Balance 880v12 for workhorse daily trainer, 1080v12 for daily trainer/recovery, Fresh Foam More v3 for recovery/max stack. These all come in 4E but these particular models are more like 5E. I buy 6E shoes when they are available but can sometimes fit 4E shoes and these three shoes and versions fit. I can't get into most 4E shoes or they are tight. I also have high arches which require good midfoot volume. I plan to stock up on these three models because I've read that the 880v13 is narrower than the v12 and they might do that with the other shoes too. The New Balance 990v5 is available in 6E and it's a vintage running shoe so it doesn't have the kind of tech that you expect in modern shoes. It's marketed more as a lifestyle shoe but we have used it for running in the past.

  • @i.p2088
    @i.p2088 Год назад +4

    I have wide feet, often need 2E, but in the 1080V12 I go NORMAL (D) width. I also went down half a size.. The only shoes ever went down 1/2 a size. Just perfect. Before I had the previous model 1080V10 but in that one I needed 2E. There are shoes with magic feel. 1080V12 just has something different. It not like it's excellent in any one attribute. It's just very good in everything and that's a feeling of trusting the shoe is very confidence inspiring.
    Some manufacturers (HOKA) in the Wide model keep the same midsole and insole and just add extra materials to the upper for more volumes feet. I have wide feet but low volume so 1080V12 is perfect but Hoka wide is a joke. I got the Mach 5 (normal) width which I expected to send back the next day but going up a size (US crazy sizes) made me get 43⅓, they are a bit long but width is fine.

  • @julie99nl
    @julie99nl Год назад +7

    I have a wide foot. I'm a forefoot striker and my forefoot needs a lot of splay when running. The 1080v12 did not work for me, it not only irritated my arch it also pushed me onto my little toe and made my little toe sore in one 10k run. The midfoot is too narrow, the SC trainer was/is better for me. Also the altra paradigm worked well for me.

    • @jonchippure52
      @jonchippure52 Год назад

      My 1080v12s do as well, even the extra wides (4E) aren’t very wide in the arch and my innermost arch lands on this annoying rubber wall along the perimeter of the sole. I managed to flatten it and break it in after about 100km but it’s still pretty disappointing lol.
      If you’re looking for a decent racer you should try the saucony endorphins speed 3s wides about a half size up. Only shoe with a carbon plate for wide footers but they’re expensive.
      Currently rockin some heavy ass extra wide sport chek 100$ dad runners.
      Does the paradigm come in extra wide? Or is the d width just nice? My local store doesn’t carry altra so I can’t try them

    Also using Ride 15 2E for tempo/intervals, Ghost 14 2E and Wave Rider 25 2E as daily trainers and Glycerin 19 2E for recovery runs. Been a bit of trial and error but now have a rotation that works.
