Running Shoes with a Wide Toebox

[GLC1968]

The Altra's weren't wide enough for my toes even though the shape is correct. I suspect if they came in a wide-width, they'd be perfect.

Currently, I'm now happily running in the NB Minimus trail (women's D width) and they are perfect for me, even for road running. I tried on the Minimus road (last years version) over the weekend and found them too cushy and not quite wide enough. Of course, the store didn't carry women's D width, so I was trying on the regular width. I had NO intentions of buying anything from them purely because the sales associate was horribly ill-informed and I didn't want to give them my business for that reason alone. She was rambling off all sorts of misinformation! She insisted that NB didn't make the Minimus in a wide width for women (multiple times) even though I told her that's what I run in. She told me I must be mistaken. Wrong thing to say to a customer - even if I had been wrong (which I wasn't, of course ).

Anybody run in the Brooks Pure Connect yet? (2 mm drop) I wonder how they fit ...

ETA - but they don't come in wide. Sniff.
