Has anyone tried these in altras? Any ideas on whether the wide would fit their wide forefoot better? I want to try these in my lone peak 4s.

McScootsI’m using the Sport ones in my Escalantes. Working out just fine especially considering how soft and bouncy the original soles can be in that shoe. Firmed up the inside of the shoes while still enjoying the cushioning of the bouncy soles.

McScootsI have not tried these, but this is from the SOLE website:
"Wide and natural-splay footwear is designed with a wider than usual toe-box and is usually the main feature of these shoes. If the Active Wide is for you, you probably already know it. Common shoe brands include Altra, Keen Wide, Brooks and Hoka, among others."
https://yoursole.com/us/mens/footbeds/active-wide-thin/
"Ideal for tight-fitting, low profile footwear with thin or no factory insoles such as slim-fitting dress shoes, casual shoes, slim running shoes, cycling shoes, cleats and ski boots."
https://yoursole.com/us/mens/footbeds/active-wide-medium/
"Ideal for most average-volume footwear and shoes with standard factory insoles such as running shoes, sneakers, basketball shoes, tennis shoes, loafers and casual shoes."
https://yoursole.com/us/mens/footbeds/active-wide-thick/
"Ideal for footwear with wiggle room, thick factory insoles and a wider shape such as trail/hiking boots, work boots, loose-fitting running shoes and winter boots."
Try measuring the thickness of the insole that came with your shoes, to determine which of these you might want to select (most will not chose "thin", so the choice would be between "medium" 1.6mm thick, or "thick" 3.2mm thick) Thicker insoles = more cushioning....

Crd203Using Medium in mine. SOLE recommends you remove the existing footbeds and replace them with the SOLEs. However, I am trying both options. I removed the existing footbeds in my Adidas Terrex CMTK Trail shoes and put in the SOLEs. However, for my Escalantes, I simply inserted the SOLEs in over the existing Altra footbeds and it's working out fine since these shoes uppers are very soft.
If you remove the LPs existing footbeds I don't see a problem. The Thicks may not be much thicker than Altras footbeds already.
