Topo Athletic Men's Phantom 2 Road Running Shoes - 5MM Drop, Lightweight & Comfortable for Long Distance Running | Perfect for Marathon Training, Jogging & Daily Workouts

I've had just gotten back into running (15-18 miles/week) but was suffering from foot pain due to running shoes not allowing my feet to expand on the width of the outside of the front of my feet. It became unbearable and more so when I wasn't running. So I researched undeniably wide running shoes as most of the shoes I found listed as a "D" width were still to tight in the fore foot. I landed on the Topos and they were a WINNER! The width that I needed so my feet are happy campers now. I did eventually have to put a metatarsal pad in front of my arch since over the years/miles has worn the normal padding that we were born with. The arch in this shoe is good for me so no issues there. Over the years all the shoes I wore have had a 10% drop so I was a bit concerned that this shoe have a 5% drop would be an issue. But not so...in fact I don't think I have scrapped my heel when running with these shoes. Overall I am extremely happy with the Topo Phantom 2's and would buy again. Oh and I really like the way that the tongue of the show is held in place to eliminate from sliding to the side. So another plus.
