Shoe recommendation to replace GoMeb Speed 6

Nike Zoom Rival Fly 3.

Msrp$90-

This has a fair amount of anatomical last being straight on medial forefoot and flaring out laterally. It's not going to be as light as skechers but it's simple and should fit you better.

Thanks for the suggestion. It has an 8mm drop.

I have a narrow heel, and wide fore-foot (Taylor bunions.) Any other suggestions to consider?

What about the Saucony Sinister? It's 6mm drop and right around 5 oz, I think. Width might be tight -- I haven't run in them (yet), but am eyeing them.

The Adidas Takumi Sen is also 6mm drop. It is a little over 6oz, but I find the forefoot more generous than Skechers.

I was just about to ask about the Sinister! I tried the Saucony Fast Twitch three years ago and those were way too tight; crushed my foot. I wonder if the Sinister is more forgiving and supple in the upper than the Fast Twitch

If you resign yourself to drop mm your really all set then. However consider dynamic drop and what the actual mm is when you run.

I have a pair of Xodus(Saucony) it's built on the Kinvara last the listed 4mm drop feels higher than my NB 1080 @8mm

Also Saucony seems to always have that lateral forefoot that curves way too soon.

Yes, they definitely fit tight but true to size. I run in them. They feel like a traditional racing flat, but with the wire to wrap your foot, they are tighter than anything else, kind of like nike flywire. Def tighter than skechers

If you truly have a wider than normal foot, I suggest salming race 7 or speed 7 (discontinued shoes but might be available on ebay in some sizes). Salming is a european brand that makes low drop running shoes with a ton of room in the forefoot. I train mostly in the streak lt (and now the sinister for anything off road or track) and I have to cinch the salmings as tight as they will go to run in them.

Thank you for the info, as I was not aware of Salming. Is their midsole a conventional EVA or something else?

The Skechers is a gas-infused EVA; most definitely noticeably different than the old flat, standard EVA, but still has held up very well.

Its something else and varies by shoe. They claim its more responsive than eva. Both shoes I mentioned have different material than eva. Their latest shoes I'm not familiar with as they switched from traditional running shoes to selling the high stack height carbon plated shoes everyone else is making today a year ago or so.

Thank you, and to all the other thread contributors!

I just left Dicks with a pair of Adidas Adizero Avanti TYO track spikes. They are certainly interesting. I’ll mainly use them on the track, but they could possibly even be used on smooth pavement, depending.

I actually was able to go 1/2 size down, and the upper is flexible enough to accommodate my wide feet.

Once I got out on the track, I felt the low-drop would probably not be appropriate for anything off the track.

I ran a 15min tempo in these spikes, and the left one painfully cut into my Achilles, leaving a blister. The following review mentions that could be an issue:
