Take a look at Sketchers GoRun 6 or the GoRun/Ride 7.

I went from Hoka to the Run/Ride 7 and have not looked back. The upper is super comfortable. Most comfortable running shoe since the Kwicky Blade Lite.

Altra Escalante

I just switched from kinvaras myself. Ran in them for 3 years or so. Nothing wrong with them but just wanted something different. I went with hoka cavu. But if not sure how it would fare in toe wideness but I love the shoe. Try it out if you can.

For wide toe boxes, altras are king. I tried on the Escalante and HATED it. Fit was ok but it felt so friggin squishy. Too much cushioning for my personal taste, but any model of altra is worth trying for the toebox.

Try on the Hoka Tracers, 1/2 size up

x2 on Skechers... might not last as long but is cheaper and really impressive. And stupid comfortable upper.

Nike Epic React is a fan favorite of mine but I don't recommend it being the ONLY shoe you own.

Nike Pegasus Turbo is probably the safest lateral move for a all-in-one shoe. I've tried it out, liked it, just not enough for $180 when I have so many shoes already.

New Balance Beacon...comes in a 2E as well.

Try Brooks pureflow. They are practically the same shoe. I haven't wore either in awhile, but a few years back preferred the Brooks due to a wider toebox.

What hoka did you switch from?

I ran almost exclusively in Kinvara's for a few years and really liked them except I kept blowing out the side of the shoe at my pinky toe and would frequently get blisters at the same location. I decided to switch to Altra's for the wider toe box. I went with the Altra One V3 and IMO they feel almost identical to the Kinvara except with more room for my toes. I tried the Esclalantes also, but, like someone else mentioned, they are just too soft and the uppers didn't give me enough support. I've also just recently gotten a pair of the Solstice's - I like them so far, but I've only got about 30 miles in them.

I have just discovered Kinvara 8's which I am told are unlike other Kinvaras and I am a convert. I mainly run in Hoka coming from Clayton and I am a big fan of the Cavu (slightly harder shoe) that would have a larger toe box. You could probably size down half a size from the Kinvara with Cavu or Mach only. I tried the Altra Escalante and wasn't a fan. I used to run in Altra and went back to the zero drop and it hurt me. Maybe just needed time getting used to again? I did love the Altra One 2.5 some years ago but only after putting a stiffer insole in. Hoka tracers are a lot harder than the Kinvara 8 and are ok for shorter races or training runs but definitely feel sorer after longer runs. I think their toe box is quite narrow too. I didn't like the feel of the Saucony Freedom ISO it felt very dead to me and didn't enjoy running in at all.

Not discrediting anyone but trying to give you my feedback to someone who likes Kinvara, shoes I have run in and mentioned earlier in the post. Have a look at the site below that will definitely help as the guy loves to cut out the toe box if too narrow and you can compare different shoes traits. He did send me on a bum steer with the Escalante though...
