I would say Altras. I have an extremely wide foot and the Altras give me plent of room. I have Altra Instinct for my wide Flinstone foot. I have the 1.5 and they held up fine durability wise although I don have a huge amount of miles on them as I primarily train on trails wearing Altra Lone Peak 1.5s. Those do have some miles I. Them and have been a great trail shoe for me.
Both the instinct and the lone peak are moderately cushioned. They are zero drop so they do take some getting used to and a transition period. I switched from brooks adrenaline to Altras so I had to get used it the different feel. Founded by Tony Post, the former CEO of Vibram who was involved with the five finger shoes. I picked up their ST model which is 13 Air Jordan 6s mm stack height beneath your foot with zero drop. i not put tons of miles on them yet, but what i have felt good. I second the comments earlier about the Merrell Road Gloves. Can I ask how you find the Altras width wise? I tried getting Air Jordan 2011 into Newtons, but they were way, way too narrow for me.
Also, can I ask what your symptoms for deep bone bruise/metatarsalagia were? I been having some sharp pain in the front (between the toes and the arch) of my foot when I run longer distances. They don feel Air Jordan DMP huge but they give me enough room that I don start to hurt. Now, I also am a woman wearing a men Air Jordan 8s pair, but that because the women ones (in stock? at all?) Air Jordan 10 weren big enough.
I had had a bookshelf dropped on my foot, but after the softball sized swelling went down and I was dumb enough to run on it (4 days later, just after a half marathon that was the morning before the injury), I had a bruise across the top of my foot. The major symptoms that my ortho latched on to were pain across the top of my foot on touch, soreness and pain inside my foot (extending into my ankle, which has prompted next week MRI), and neuropathy/paresthesia I getting tingling, burning, and other sensations that have no external cause as a result of the metatarsal capsules swelling against the nerves.
If you can afford it, I see an ortho. I got my ortho blessing to continue working out as pain allows and I still nervous about doing permanent damage.
Or/But one of the solutions on my little metatarsalgia info sheet for said is to wear better shoes! Perhaps you could go to a running store to have them help you pick out shoes? (It what I did; much easier than all the research myself.)
