For the people that use Altras in their rotation, is it hard on your feet to go from the wide toe box of an Altra shoe to another brand’s more narrow toe box? I’ve thought about rotating but wasn’t sure how my feet would respond now that my toes nicely splay out when running
I haven't had any issues swapping back and forth....for really long runs I'll sometimes start in my new balance and swap out to my altras

My favorite shoes for years were the Kinvaras but once I tried the Altras I made the switch. But if anything it gives your feet and lower legs a break by switching out shoes.
You could try Topa. Varsity sells them. Wide toe box like an Altra but not a zero drop.

I've had issues ramping up mileage in altras. Not really the shoes fault, but the zero drop. Spent about 6 weeks in physical therapy and switched to an 11mm drop shoe before it went away. I'd like to slowly transition back because I did like running in them. Achilles pain only came after the run. But I have had a few races that required me to get in the mileage now, so they are picked up in the closet. Next goal is a full iron man though, and I don't see running in altras for a full marathon working out for me. So it'll probably be quite a while before I transition back.
