Most of these shoes don't fit me in the toe box. Turns out I was born with a C shaped foot that plays hell with my foot impact.

Switched over to Altra running and a Merrell summer trail shoe just to have comfort.

I'd give the Altra a decent, but not great grade overall. Topo is another wide toe box brand. Those seemed low quality and stiff.

Merrell winter shoes and this hiking deal are working well.

i usually get the previous generation with weird colors from amazon. try to use 2 shoes while training for long distances to help spread the wear of them. ive only gotten brooks and saurcony in the past.

yeah I have three pair of Cloudmonsters actually. insanely amazing
When I play golf, I walk about 90% of the time. I've seen some golfers get the On trail hiking shoes for it. I'm hoping they make a pair soon otherwise I'll be buying the trail hiking shoes to replace my Air Max 90's that have a lot of miles on them.

I have, I think, 8 pair of On shoes of various kinds. I have a problem.

I trained for and did an Ironman in '16 in Hoka Clifton's with zero foot issues. Haven't bothered to try anything else since. Don't fix what ain't broke.

I agree Brooks and Asics are great running shoes. I might go back to Asics this next round as I have fond memories.

I'm addicted to mine. Wore them around work to break them in before logging miles on them and may have to get a second pair just for work now.
yeah the first pair i got about 7 years ago i started using as yard work shoes thinking they'd kind of go south and they just haven't. still holding up (albeit kinda gross and dirty) but they're still comfy.
