BRONAX Men's Wide Cushioned Supportive Road Running Shoes | Wide Toe Box | Rubber Outsole

A quality item at a reasonable price...more than that ...I bought them seeking relief for foot neuropathy pain ....and I can tell from the first time I put these shoes on, they are going to do an excellent job for me. Plenty of room in the toe box for my toes to flay naturally and not to be compressed uncomfortably. These will be my personal shoes for all occasions, casual, business and religious.....all occasions, bar none. Well done is what I say to the manufacturer. Great service is what I say to Amazon. Happy camper today. Sole thickness is great, arch support could use a little boost but I have insoles for that ....comfort is unimpeachable....so glad I found them.

Since there are few other options for attractive general purpose sneakers in a variety of nice colors for people who require a truly wide toe box, these get five stars. My elderly mom can only wear a few styles of certain brands of sneakers (Altras, Asics, Brooks, Hoka) owing to her hammer toe, but she frequently finds that the latest versions of the styles that used to have reliably wide toe boxes are now too narrow. The styles she can find are generally three to four times the retail cost of the $41 Bronax (aside from the Asics Contend). My mother is on a fixed income so she waits for these other sneakers to go on sale and then usually has to settle for a color she doesn't prefer whereas the Bronax come in several nice and coordinatable colors that are affordable at full price; (the red is just as lovely and vibrant as in the pictures and she likes that the black have black soles as she can even wear them with dressier clothes to the theater since they don't call attention to themselves. She usually wears these shoes for walks around the neighborhood, stair climbing, recumbent bike riding, and her PT sessions, etc. She says they have decent cushioning with not much stability (although not terribly unsupportive), they are made for a neutral foot/heel. I bought her spenco insoles to offer a bit more cushioning and support. She would prefer a slightly more padded tongue but she says it's not a deal-breaker by any means, but if the company is reading, she hopes a new version will include a thicker tongue. The tread is decently grippy. I think the take-away is that these look pretty great, are pretty cheap, and are pretty comfortable for general use and they are decently manufactured while offering a wide toe box. Somehow the curvature around the toe doesn't appear as bulbous as most Altra styles. One side note: Of course Altras are better made, but one thing about the two styles she has of Altras is that the heel collar is very low so the sneakers don't go up to the ankle, which makes them a little annoying to pull on. The Bronax have a more normal height of heel collar and are easier to get into. Finally, she wears a 41 in these (size 8 wide). She wears a 41 in the hammer toe-friendly Brooks Addiction and Asics Contends whereas she wears a 42 in Altra Paradigm, if this helps you figure out your size (I mention the EU sizes since she sometimes buys womens and sometimes mens in those styles).

They were exactly what I ordered, they fit great and not cheaply made and are comfortable

Impressed with the looks and the quality, especially at this price point. Comfy and look great. Seems true to size. What else can you want?

I like this shoe. Wide is wide and does not cramp your big toe. These are not zero drop, which is what I want. Perfect walking shoe. Shoe lace are a little too wide and bulky through the tiny holes to allow pulling the shoe lace tight without a big tug. have been wearing these for two weeks and like them even more and just ordered another pair in another color. I will be buying new shoe lace because I like the shoe. Toes are so happy and feet are so comfy walking my dog on pavement.

I usually wear Altra shoes but they are expensive, very poor quality and have been getting narrow. I tried these shoes as an alternative and was impressed. They are much better than I expected. Pros: 1. They are wide in the toe box though the shape could be improved. Most people looking for wide shoes need the most width at the ball of the foot. The Bronax sole is uniformly wide, not a little wider at the ball. This makes them seem less comfortable than the Altra Lone Peak Wide. They are more comfortable than any other Altra shoe I have tried though so this is impressive. I hope Bronax continues to refine their width. 2. The upper seems relatively well built. I have worn them for a few weeks so far and they seem much more durable than Altras. No noticeable wear and the glue does not seem to be delaminating. 3. The soles are very sticky, good traction. Again much better than Altra's. Cons: 1. The fit needs to be slightly wider in at the ball of the foot. 2. The soles are wearing out much quicker than I would like and is the only aspect of the shoe that seems lower quality than Altras (and Altra's have very poor durability in all areas). I hope Bronax upgrades to a more durable but sticky rubber compound. 3. It does not come in a trail running version (more aggressive tread). Overall I am impressed with these shoes and with a few slight changes they will easily be superior to the much more expensive Altra shoes. I will update this review as I get more miles on them. I am very hopeful these could be my new favorite shoes in time. For now I will use them and Altras depending on what I am doing. I give them only 3 stars mostly due to the high sole wear and the sole shape at the ball of the foot. Also, these shoes are MUCH better quality and more comfortable than the Whitin shoes I tried which were junk.

I have been looking for a decent pair of wide toe box, zero drop shoes. It is not as easy as one might imagine. My tried and true brand is declining dramatically in quality and I have stopped buying their shoes. I tend to be active and walk 5-7 miles a day with a 30 lb weighted vest and ankle weights. I am hard on athletic shoes. I am comparing this Bronax navy colored shoe to the Whitin grey wide toe box shoe. I am a woman and wear a size 41. This Bronax is a man's shoe. Comfort - 5/5 I am pleasantly surprised by the comfort of the Bronax shoes. As you can see from the pics they have more cushion than Whitin. The tongue is long enough to be comfortable as it is not jabbing into the front of my ankle. Sizing - 5/5 After trying 20 different pair of shoes (that was a fun return) I was pleased that the Bronax sizing was fairly accurate. I wear a 41 and it felt like a 41. Even well known brands seems off on their sizing these days. Height - 5/5 As you can see from the pics with the measuring tape the Bronax is a higher shoe. Partly due to cushion but the fabric portion is also more substantial. Style - 5/5 The Bronax just looks nice and like a quality shoe. Price- 5/5 Nice bang for the buck at $45. Durability - ? I don't know. Will update this review when I know more. Whitin/Bronax The Bronax is a more substantive shoe and feels like it might take a beating over time and not fall apart. The Whitin is more minimalist. Comfortable but less cushion and the cushion is more rigid. I personally like this for certain situations. There is 1 issue with Whitin that is odd. It feels like the cushion is not one flat piece but has holes (to reduce materials needed) and I can sort of feel the holes. It's not dramatic but might be after a few miles of walking. I will try one of my i soles and see if that helps. I didn't have this experience with Bronax. In the end I might keep both shoes. But if I could only have 1 shoe I would keep the Bronax. I really applaud Bronax for creating a good wide tox box zero drop shoe. Clearly it's not easy as I tried 20 different companies which included some well known brands. The more well known brands are increasing in price and declining in quality which makes room for a company like Bronax. Let's hope they keep making good shoes!!

Nice wide toe box from my wide feet. Uncommonly firm but after wearing them for a bit they are perfect and have the perfect amount of give to them. Works great with my arch supports as well.

I really like these shoes and have finally found something that fit my wide feet. Like some other reviewers I have switched to these after my last pair of Altra sneakers fell apart after only a few months of use. These are almost a quarter of the price with the same comfort. I also tried New Balance 574 since they are listed as a wide toe box shoe but these are much wider and more comfortable. I'm not crazy about the logo on the heal but overall they look nice for such a wide toe box shoe. Another thing I've noticed is they have excellent winter snow and ice grip but they do squeak a lot if you walk on a polished floor if they are wet. I really hope they keep manufacturing these so people like me who have wide feet and need a big toe box have a choice!

Product is as advertised. It has wide toe-box and is very comfortable for wide feet.

These are soft and comfy. They are pretty light-weight as well as nice and wide as advertised. True to size.

For years, I could only run in Altra, and ongoing I've been buying new ones. But year by year the quality has determined, and it's now at such a low point that I need to find another solution. So far Bronax has past the test. They have equally wide toe boxes, the interior fabric does not wear out, and the sole is protective and has a good grip. On the negative e side, they do not fit tight around the heal, and they make an annoying, squeaking sound,while walking or running.

I'm between a 39 & 40, ordered the 40, great fit. I do allot of pavement walking and the really flat/thin soled barefoot shoes I just can't do. I end up with really painful blisters on the bottoms of my heels. These are great! A little more cushion in the heel of the sole is great! I got them yesterday, took them for a jog outside this morning and they were SO comfortable. I have never had wide toe box shoes I could jog in. My feet will be thanking me. I will definitely be ordering more in different colors.
