head-to-head · opinion

The ASICS Versablast 4 and Versablast 4 Wide are the same shoe—identical 261 g weight, 25/17 mm stack, 8 mm drop, and $80 price—so the only real trade-off is fit width. Choose the standard Versablast 4 for a regular foot and the Versablast 4 Wide if you need more room in the forefoot; everything else about the versatile, moderately cushioned daily ride is the same.
