Possibly, likely, incredibly stupid question about feet
As a background, I'm coming off a stress fracture in my foot, which I *think* is healed enough to run (did it around, or on, Oct 25 at B2B). I also apparently developed a Morton's neuroma at that race, because I thought it'd be a good idea to ride in brand new shoes I had never worn before (Bont's). And, I haven't been on the bike since; combination of new baby, bad foot, running a business, and the holidays. Also laziness. Can't discount laziness. I digress.
Anyway, I'm ready to start doing stuff agin since im starting to find a little bit of available time, and want to avoide making my foot numb. So I know I need to make sure the toe box of my shoes, both running and cycling, are "wide". The problem is, I have no idea what constitutes "wide". I did some googling and all I find is stuff like "shoe x is wide and shoe y is narrow." What the fuck does that mean to me?
So, how does one determine whether a shoe has an wide enough toe box without buying 18 different pairs? I can't find dimensions for any of them, and I sure as shit won't be buying a18 pairs to try out.

Getting off at T2 I kept trying to find the pebble that was in my shoe and rub out the pins and needles. I haven't had any pain from running (aside from shin splints) prior to this. So, in retrospect, this seems like the first time it showed up, which is why I assumed it was the cycling shoes.
Oh, and I rotate my trainers, never the same pair two runs in a row, and buy new ones at 200 miles. New racers (Virrata's) at 150ish.
you are supposed to wash your feet if trying to get someone to suck your toes.

I'm also no expert but I can say that Altras have the wide front and have been awesome for my fat little feet.
