Altra The One 2.5 or Instinct 3.0 if you want more cushioning.

Give the Altra line a try.

Check out Altra. Besides being 0 drop their big selling feature is having a wide toe box. I can't think of anything off the top of my head that is wide toe box and more drop.

INOV-8's have a wide toe box and have several models with some good padding. Merrell would be my other suggestion for a wide toebox but are very minimal for padding.

What Altra do you recommend. Is Lone Peak good?

If you've liked Hoka's, then likely the Torin or Paradigm would be the first place to look.

I've been running in Hoka Conquest, heavier (~11oz) and firmer and are about at the end of life. I also recently had a Morton's Neuroma removed and Doc said I need a wider shoe, so I'm looking around too for a wider toe box & cushioned shoe. I tried the Torin 2.0 and it was felt too firm for me, wanted a softer feel. I have a pair of Paradigms on the way to try.

I tried on a pair of Sketcher Go Run Ultra's at the mall. They felt roomy and soft and lighter than the Conquests and rolled nice on the treadmill, but seems sole durability is questionable based online reviews. The Go Run Ultra Road is supposed to have better sole durability but adds weight and $.

All of these will weight ~2 oz more than the Clifton's.

Give the Saucony Triumphs a try. 8mm drop with lots of cushion and a wide toe box.

Topo Tribute is zero drop, cushioned with a wide toe box, but still fairly light and fast. I've been happy with mine so far.

I guess "cushioned" is all relative but the Tribute is not even considered their cushioned shoe, that's the Magnifly!

If you go with the Altra watch the sizing. I found they run a little big and you feel lost in them. Sized down a 1/2 and they are great.

not Hoka level cushioning but I'm really liking the New Balance 870v4 right now. Cushioned and stable- really helped with PF and Achilles issues I was having. They hug the heel and mid foot fairly snug yet have a lot of forefoot room...at least for me:)

YES! x2

Skora tempo. Just love them

They are "lightly" cushioned like you said

The Lone Peak is a trail running shoe. The only way to know which Altra might be good is for you to try them on. Personally, I run in the Paradigm on the road and the Olympus on the trails. I also liked Hoka's (ran in the Clifton briefly) but need the wide toe box so made the switch to Altra.

I know, for some reason I assumed the OP was looking for zero drop. I haven't worn the Magnifly's but if they fit like the Tributes then they're probably a good option.

Lone Peak is a trail shoe. If you're looking for that, its a great shoe.

Thanks for the recommendation :)

I just picked up a pair of Altra Paradigms and so far they are a near perfect shoe. Very wide toe box, max cushioning and 2oz lighter than the Hoka Conquests I was using. With 0 miles in them I ran a Turkey Trot 5k without any issues.

What size? I have a pair of new Altra Paradigm in Men's 10.5 for sale in the classifieds and I am in Kansas for quick delivery.
