What shoes you wearing now and what next?

I'm looking for opinions on the most comfortable super shoes for wide feet. I've struggled over the past few years to find a "super shoe" that is remotely comfortable for me and it is mainly due to chaffing issues from the uppers, in particular on the edges of my feet/toes. I seem to have a relatively wide foot and I've tried a couple of different options which when purchasing I thought would work but after a couple of runs I've had to abandon. Lots of wasted money. The most recent being the Mizuno Wave Rebellion Pro.

At the moment I use pretty much only Saucony Speed's, 1's up to 3's now for everything, from daily easy runs to faster workouts/intervals and most recently a half marathon race. They are the only shoe that just don't give me any issues. I had also been using the Triumph 19 but had issues then with the 20. Now with a marathon coming up I do feel like I'm missing out a bit on getting the best I can out the current generation of shoes that are out there.

So what are peoples personal experiences for super shoes with relatively roomy uppers for wide feet?

Also been using the speed's(v2 and V3) for most runs. Recently got the endorophin pro 3 on sale and found it great and very comfortable on a recent track session. Have been using vaporflys for races in past. Might be an option if the speed's have generally suited you? I'm generally easy on shoes/dont have fit issues though.

Hiya, I just got a pair of speed 2s in The Edge Cork yesterday for 136, hopefully they have your size left.

Cracked and ordered myself a pair of Superblast.

Kids: don't buy expensive shoes. I was perfectly happy with my Asics Nimbus 24 before I spoiled myself with the Adios Pro 3 and now enjoy running in them so much I've been using them as a daily shoe. The only thing wrong with the Adios is the faffing required to get them laced up due to the tongue design. I tried some elastic laces but they weren't comfortable with such a minimalist upper so I'm going to try some (traditional?) flat laces.

Meanwhile the Nike Invincible 2s have only been used a couple of times. I get why people like them for the super squish feeling but they just made me run flat footed. I might use them for recovery runs.

Also tried some Puma Velocity Nitro 2 but found them dead feeling so they're relegated to casual use.

We're all quick to slam poor service so I thought I should call out excellent service. I ordered these at 6am yesterday from 365rider and they arrived at 11 this morning. Unreal!

Altra Timp 3 just arrived today in navy blue - to replace a three year old pair in orange and grey that are now a road shoe as the lugs have all worn off.

Awesomely comfortable for my wide feet and love of zero drop.

Boston 12 is supposed to be excellent.

also the NB Rebel v3 - have a pair in the box waiting for me to finish my 2nd pair of the v2 - they’ve made it a little more stable, which is the one thing it needed

edit: just saw you went with the Triumph - have only heard great things 👍

I think to start out with it doesn't matter too much, there's no support or anything in them anyway so I just use the cheapest ones I could get. You see people actually wearing dragonflys now too, but I can't really justify them.

I use Brooks Mach 19, they were €40 on sale. They come with track spikes, they’re a middle distance shoe, so a €4 set of XC spikes in Elverys and you’ve shoes for both occasions

I've got about 340Km on mine. The only time I've seen them wear a little on the sole is when I've gone off road on to gravel paths. Otherwise they have been great.

Long shot from crap pic.. can anyone identify these Nike trainers please.

I have pro 3's with 200km on them. I had been feeling the bounce go on them over the last couple of races. I have a new pair that I'll be using for races going forward and the old pair will be used for sessions now. I would expect to get another 200k+ out of them for sessions (maybe more) and they are replacing the speed 3's I have with 800km on them in the rotation. This is a luxury really to have 2 pairs in rotation but I waited quite a while and watched for a really good deal on the second pair. There is not a huge amount of wear and tear, it's definitely more the mid sole bounce which has softened, it makes them ideal as session shoes and I'll get a good bit of use out of them before they are retired

As someone else has said, I usually keep a fresh racing pair of shoes that will do 2-300km before moving them to probably 5-700km of session work.

In other words, yes the racing carbon shoes lose their race bounce reasonably quickly, but that doesn’t mean you’d be binning them, quite the opposite. Try to get those expensive shoes in a sale and leave them for when you need them.

I have €112 vaporfly 2’s that sat in a box for 6 months and now have one 10k race in them and will use them for marathons shortly, and probably all races next Jan-June.
