I'm wanting to try another pair of shoes. I recently purchased Pearl Izumi M3s, but after 3 decent runs, I noticed that they were too tight in the toebox. I'm thinking to try now the Ultra 1.5 or a HOka One One. I love my Kinavaras, but just am wanting to see what else is out there in a more 'rocker' style shoe with a wide toe box.Maui Hollydayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13447603652699202806noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1457833116563861494.post-6438689099678040802016-05-01T04:19:32.023-05:002016-05-01T04:19:32.023-05:00For me vibram five fingers are the best.

I was running in the xt wings but now I'm trying the lighter x-scream. Bunions are definitely a problem. Anytime I run 10+ miles, I can feel them aching afterwards. Finding a shoe that could eliminate that would be wonderful.

I removed the insoles of my current sneakers (Asics gel) to accommodate a small gel toe separator. The pain is gone but I feel a lack of support. I think the Atra that I am purchasing will accommodate the toe separator without removing the insole. The ShoeFitr tool is great!

I have the same problem and after experiencing the pain of Adidas (post-changes in their Adizero Mana toebox), the splits in the mesh on ladies Saucony Mirage and Fastwitch, I finally tried the men's shoes in 8.5. After 7 successful races at all distances in the Men's Kinvaras, I got a pair of my favourite Fastwitch (also men's, but size 9 was recommended) and a pair of Saucony Cortana for a neutral-cushion distance shoe. The problem I'm now having with the Fastwitch and Cortana is a different shape of the heel cup than the Kinvara and they seem to be aggravating an old tibial nerve injury under my left ankle. Sigh. What fussy feet. May just have to stick to the Kinvara for all training and racing, although I've also heard the brand-new Adidas Boost is really good for bunions.Susanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01741884642796668995noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1457833116563861494.post-50199786347284956682013-05-06T23:04:27.981-05:002013-05-06T23:04:27.981-05:00This is a really well-thought out post!

So far, GoRuns have worked well for me because I can get them in extra wide. I haven't tried the newer versions since Skechers does not provide a wide option in those. I have the Kinvaras and like them as well - although they do not work as well as the GoRuns for my feet.
