Anyone have suggestions for a neutral shoe with a wide toe box? Ideally it would have a drop between 10-6mm and be under 10oz's. A flexible mid sole is a plus.
I was wearing the NB 890's for a while, but my bunion destroyed this latest model in like 300 miles.
the nike pegasus has been working well for bunions. light-weight but not necessarily the drop you're looking for.
the brook ghost also seems to have their seems placed properly for people with bunions. go wide and it works even better.
the previous version of the mizuno wave rider (16 not 17) has also been successful for bunions.
you may find relief in the saucony kinvara, or the adidas glide boost.
the nike terra kieger is technically a trail shoe but runs perfectly fine on the roads. 4 mm drop, light-weight and wide toe box.
the nike peg would be the first thing i would recommend to you.
Nike Pegasus seems to fit the criteria. Not sure what kind of drop it has, but it is a wide cushy shoe that has done me well over the past 5 years.
The current version is the 30, but you can usually find 28 or 29's on clearance. Not much has changed outside of color. I picked up 3 pairs for $49. They had the 28's at Costo awhile back for $39. I wish I would have bought them out.
Any shoe from Altra if you want dat zero drop, same with Merrell but much more minimal. Sketchers Go Series for low drop
Most premium trainers from major companies: Pegs, Triumphs, Flyknit Lunar, Cumulus, 1080, Wave Riders, Ghosts, Glycerins, go for bigger width if available
Any old versions would be considerably cheaper.
nike lunar elite
I think the 890v4 is a lot like the Pegasus 30 but with less drop.
It's amazing how many people look at threads like this and respond with shoes that are completely different from what was requested.
Brooks Launch is the shoe for you, lightweight trainer 10mm offset, 9oz, nice wide toe, soft feel like the 890.
Weirder shoe but the Newton Energy (basically no lugs) also compares quite nicely to the 890, 6mm offset and pretty light. Soft upper that should form around a bunion alright.
Wave sayonarra from Mizuno is also worth a try, though it's got kind of a weird shape so it could be hit or miss, quite a bit of space side to side up front though. Also 10mm offset and light.
You could also try the new NB 980, no idea how it fits, it has a 4mm offset but is supposedly a little more shoe than the kinvara/pureflow.
Finally, Saucony ride, more shoe/ traditional trainer feel than the 890 but has that 8mm offset and a pretty flexible upper, though not the widest.
First 3 are probably your best bet though
A clown shoe?

Great option. Available in wide width if necessary.

If you have a Skechers store in your local mall, check out the GoRun Ultra. It's a beefier version of the GoRun Ride, but it's still a lightweight shoe. It has a wide toe box, weighs 9.3 oz in size 9.5 according to my digital scale, and has a heel/toe of 23/17 for a lift of 6mm. It's flexible, but not roll-up-into-a-ball flexible. I don't know yet if they will last 300 miles.
Altra
Nothing has a big box than Altra, not even Hardlopers sister.
I'm a road runner, but I've been running in the Asics Gel Scout trail. It's a little over 10 ounces (11.8), but has a wide toe box and an 8mm drop.
This is, without a doubt, the best shoe I have ever had. I recommend going to your local running store. They can help you find something that works for you.
Trail shoes tend to have larger toe boxes so your toenails don't get too beat up when your feet swell/ on the downhills.
I miss the old Asics Speedstar. That was a great, light shoe for bunion sufferers.
For some pairs, to give myself a little extra room in the toe box, I skip the first set of holes when lacing my shoes.
Brooks Launch.
That's generally what I try to look for in running shoes, wide toe box and neutral. A friend recommended saucony cortanas so I found a pair cheap and decided to try em. They've been my favorite pair of trainers since! Saucony says they're 9.7 oz and feel fast for a premium trainer. Thats my personal preferance, but really, just find what works for you.
