Anyone know which running shoes are best for wide feet and provide good cushioning?

Hey Christopher and for wide feet with good cushioning and support on pavement & the Men's Charged stand out due to their availability in wide widths and maximum foam padding that absorbs impact effectively. They feature a breathable engineered mesh upper to keep feet cool during warm-weather runs and addressing your concerns about pinching and blisters from previous shoes.

Compared to narrower options like some Under Armour models, this Brooks shoe provides superior roominess without sacrificing stability, with a stack height of 39mm for plush underfoot feel.

One minor drawback is the slightly higher price point, but it offers excellent value for the enhanced comfort and durability on daily jogs.

For wide feet and look for cushioned running shoes with a roomy toe box and breathable mesh to stay cool and avoid blisters, and feel stable without stiffness. They may need a short break-in, but once they do it feels like running on clouds.

Wide feet here too :) Been through the pinch and blister cycle. For comfort on pavement and start with models available in wide or extra wide and pay special attention to the toe box shape rather than just the label. You want room across the forefoot with a bit more vertical volume so your toes can splay and plus a relatively straight platform that does not taper aggressively. For cushioning, look for higher stack midsoles with softer foam and a broad base so the shoe stays stable when the miles pile up. A slightly rockered profile can help smooth out pavement strides and take pressure off the forefoot.

Fit check matters as much as the spec sheet. Try on late in the day with your running socks, make sure you have about a thumb of space in front of the big toe, free wiggle at the little toe, and a snug heel that does not lift. If the upper still feels tight across the forefoot, experiment with parallel lacing or skip the lowest eyelet to relieve pressure. Swapping to a thinner insole or your own orthotic can also free up a bit of volume without changing sizes.

Warm weather runs call for engineered mesh with plenty of ventilation and minimal heavy overlays. For durability and support on pavement, check that there is ample rubber coverage under the forefoot and heel and that the midsole does not compress flat when you press it with a thumb. To keep blisters away, pair the shoes with moisture wicking socks and use a dab of lubricant on known hot spots for the first few runs. If you can, visit a specialty running shop for a quick gait check and try multiple width options back to back. It is worth it.

Hey fellow wide-footer here and struggled with the same issues- pinching, not enough cushion, sweaty feet in the heat.

I swear by shoes that have a generous fit and loads of foam underfoot for that pavement pounding.

Tried a few, and honestly, the extra width makes all the difference for comfort on longer jogs, plus good ventilation is key.

One pair I love has this plush setup that absorbs shocks great, no more blisters for me.

And yeah, they're durable too, hold up well over miles.

If you're looking, prioritize brands known for wide options; it changed my running game.

Works great.
