Wide running shoes recommendations? (sopuli.xyz)

Hi,

I've been having issues with blisters between my toes. The toes rub together I suppose, and for longer runs, this causes issues.

I think I need wider shoes. I've been running in the "Hoka bondi 7 wide", and recently got the altra Turin 6.. The altras as ok for width, but the lack of drop makes my heel hurt.. Any ideas of very wide shoes with some drop?

I should say I love the hokas in every aspect aside from them being too narrow in the toe box.

Not many options for wide unfortunately. I used to run in Nike Pegasus before I switched to Brooks Ghost. Both have a wide option and both use a high drop (12mm I believe). Currently use Brooks Ghost 13

A couple of years ago I bought a shoe with a lower drop (6mm I think) as I thought it might help with some hip pain I'd been having. Turns out it did the trick. The shoe is Saucony Kinvara wide. So now I alternate between these and the Ghosts. The Kinvara is a faster shoe with less cushion so be careful about using them for longer runs.
