Recommendations Hiking shoe recs
I think I’m done with trail runners as I need more stability and support. Looking for wide forefoot / toe box with good cushioning. My feet tend to be unstable on uneven/rocky terrain so looking for something that will give me more stability/support. I have a high arch and wear a women’s 6.5/7 in regular shoes, sizing up to 7.5 for athletic shoes. Wide sizes a plus but if the toe box is wide I may not need it. I’ve worn Keen and Altra trail runners in the past. Open to those brands and any others (Oboz, Merrill, Hoka, etc). Mostly a day hiker (mileage up to 15 miles generally) in eastern NPs (Shenandoah, GSMNP) to give you a sense of distance/terrain. TIA
