The Tracer is going to be a touch narrower. However, there's more of the bonded material in the upper on the lateral side of the foot, which may either be something that bothers you -or- something that prevents your foot from blowing out that lateral side.
The Altras definitely have room in there - be sure to size up about a half size as they run short. I don't think they'll hurt the issue here.
I would also be curious if you're actually in the right size shoe (most of us will run into this specific issue when we don't size our run shoes with arch length as a consideration) as well as what you're using for a sock to blow through an upper like that.
