Hi Julia,
No problem! I found your order in our system and sent you a label to send them back to us. Sorry that didn't work out!

Hi Adie,
The Tomir is a medium width shoe overall, but the toe box is decently roomy. It is not as wide as an Altra toe box, but it sounds like you don't necessarily need that. It is definitely a more durable and protective shoe than the Mont Blanc, and it has that full sole you're looking for. It is definitely a firmer shoe, and it takes some break-in to get the midsole to feel good for running, but once it does it should last quite a while. For a slightly softer and bouncier experience, more akin to the ...

Like Zak, this is my first pair of Hoka shoes. I've been very impressed with them. The highlight of the shoe for me is the midsole, which is soft and bouncy yet still protective and relatively stable.

These are really solid budget-friendly gels. Maurten are still my favorite, but these are much more affordable and easier to stock up on, and they pack a good punch. They definitely need to be taken with water, and can burn a little bit going down, but not bad. Totally worth it for the price.
If price was not a factor, I'd give these 4/5. But price is a factor, so five stars.
