Best Wide-Foot Friendly Shoe Rotation in 2025 - Part 2
This is a list of accommodating, roomy shoes that are perfect for wide-footed runners that don't sacrifice bounce or performance. The ASICS Novablast 5, Brooks Hyperion Max 2, Mizuno Neo Zen and On Cloudboom Strike make for an excellent four-shoe rotation, ready to handle high-mileage training and race day with comfort and performance.
Tired of squeezing wide feet into narrow shoes? This one’s for you. Welcome to Part 2 of the Supwell Certified Wide Foot Shoe Rotation—extra room, extra stack, extra love. These picks are wider-fitting, more accommodating versions of standard shoes—but not all come in wide versions. If you missed Part 1 of this series, check it out here.
ASICS Novablast 5: Daily trainer
The Novablast 5 is one of the most popular shoes right now for a reason—it’s comfortable, stable, fun and can pick up the pace. The upper is also surprisingly forgiving. Up top, ASICS blessed the Wide Foot Fam with a generously cavernous engineered mesh that’s breathable, stretchy and perfectly padded out back. This is a widely-loved crowd pleaser.

Brooks Hyperion Max 2: Speed training
The Hyperion Max 2 has one of the best uppers in the game. It’s slightly stretchy with a forgiving fit and stellar breathability. The platform also has a wide forefoot that’s accommodating for various foot shapes. The ride here is on the firmer side—protective and cushioned, and definitely will not bottom out when pushing power. If you’re looking for speedy sturdiness, this is a top pick.

Mizuno Neo Zen: Long runs
The Neo Zen is a soft and bouncy cruiser that’s great for long hours on the roads. With a one-piece upper design, it has a voluminous fit that puny-footed runners may describe as “baggy” but our wide-footed friends will embrace. The ride underfoot is soft and smooth, but surprisingly resilient for stacking big mileage. Get this one for fun long runs.

On Cloudboom Strike: Race day
The upper on this marathon racer is so lavishly laden with volume that hot dog-footed runners have nightmares of lacing it up for the big dance. The Alphafly 3 might have air units, but this thing is an ABSOLUTE unit. You don’t hit the wall in this thing; you are the wall. We’ll see ourselves out.
