This is a truly outstanding shoe.  A bit about me.  6'1", 170-175 pounds.  40 years old, former sprinter.  I am just getting into long distance, preparing for some marathons this year.  I have wide feet as well, but like a snug fit in the heel.  I am a mid to forefoot striker.  I am a 'muscular' runner, big calves, big thighs.  Low body fat %, not you typical distance runner!
Previously I tried the following:
Mizuno Wave Precision 13 - great shoe, but the drop is far too much.  I was looking for 0-5mm drop.  Ran a few hundred miles in these, but developed some calf issues due to the unnatural positioning needed to mid/forefoot strike with a large drop shoe.
Moved on to the Saucony Kinvara 3 in EE width.  Great shoe, but in the EE width it is extremely difficult to get a snug fit in the heel.  Still, I have these shoes, and use on occasion.
Tried the Saucony Fastwitch 5....huge mistake.  100 miles and developed Morton's Neuroma due to the narrow width.
Switched to the New Balance 730....thought I had a winner here!  raced in these and they are fast.  Minimalist, but some protection.  Turns out not enough, but these are close.  Also...although they are wide in the toe box, the height is not great, and developed some top of foot issues (was concerned I had a stress fracture or a bone spur!).  Used for 450 miles, but did not get more of these
Tried the Altra Instinct.  Nice and wide up front.  0 drop but I had no issue with this.  The shoe is stiff, however....does not flex with the foot, and the landing, although cushioned, is ...harsh.  A noticeable 'thwap' when you hit the ground.  Plus if you do not tie it perfectly, it rubs the Achilles until it is bloody.  No reselling these due to the blood stains!
Finally, I, for fun, tried the Skechers Go Run Ride Ultra.
First run in these was a 12 mile run at marathon pace, an interval.  I knew from the first mile that I had a winner.  The pluses of this shoe are:
- nice wide toe box, and wide in the midfoot
- snug in the heel...not tight, but not sloppy
- light weight....as light as my New Balance 730 !!!!
- cushioned - fantastic cushioning, amazing what Skechers has done with a shoe that is pretty low to the ground.  This is not a barefoot shoe, but this is also not a thick trainer.  Same height as the Kinvara, essentially
- comfort - I have this separate from cushioning, as the feel of the shoe on the foot is magnificent.  No blisters, no rubbing raw the achilles like the Altra Instincts
- fast - Sure, this is subjective, but these shoes are very fast.  4 mm drop which I think is perfect, light weight, easy on the feet...fast!
- promotes a mid-foot strike.
I now own 4 pair of these....and will continue to stock up.
