I've been wearing Brooks Pureflow 1's for a really long time, the best shoe for my foot I've found due to the forefoot cushioning and wide toebox. I can't find them online in the nooks and crannies of the internets anymore and the Pureflow 2's gave me some major blisters on the pinky toe. So what are you other wide-shod, forefoot-cushioned individuals wearing? Preferably lower drop (0-4mm) as I tend to get PF from anything higher. Thanks for any recommendations!

II recently switched to Skora Phase-x shoes and extremely happy with the fit, especially the toe box. Normally I'll order a size larger to have a decent fit but didn't need to with them.
Right out of the box went on a long run and no issues at all.

Thanks for the input, I read a few reviews on runningwarehouse.com and some mentioned going with a size up. Did you have to do this?

I ordered the same size I normally wear and they fit great. Even after a 50k there was no issue. I wear a 10 in brooks flow, Newton gravity and PI em2 and the Altra torin and instict. Going up a size for me always seems sloppy on my feet after the shoes break in. I think leftlane has torin for $70 or less in some sizes. Good luck.

Second the Altra Torin. Did not have to size up (from size in 4E width), although a few toes were surprised to discover there was actually a front to a toe box. Seem to be able to push the knees a little further compared to 8 and 12mm drop shoes before the dread PF starts to beckon from the shadows, but that could just be the koolaid...

Would agree with the Torin. I'm a full 4E in Asics and the Torin work for me.

Thanks for any recommendations!I've found Zoot's line of shoes like the Kalani and Kane and Ultra TT to work really well. Stretchy material helps with a wide foot and toe splay.
I find my saucony mirage 2 have kinda wide box and 4mm drop.
