Can I learn English slang from Reddit with SubRead?

Yes. SubRead is a calm Reddit reader for language learners: open any thread, highlight a phrase, get a slang/tone explanation, and save it as a flashcard.

Is SubRead good for ESL / intermediate English?

It targets immersion: real posts and comments instead of textbook dialogues, with AI help when tone or slang is unclear.

Sneaker recommendations?

I have wide toes and a narrow rest of my foot, as well as almost flat feet (thanks pregnancy). My arches cramp badly during lifting or cardio that involves footwork in regular sneakers that are too narrow with too much arch support.

I love these Altras but am looking for other brands/styles for more options in color! Please send any recommendations you have my way 😊

I will attach pics of my current pair in the comments if I am able to

No pics allowed in this sub, so here’s a link to see what my current sneakers look like https://www.altrarunning.com/en-us/products/womens-experience-flow-st-al0a85rk

Topo have excellent running shoes. I like Xero Prios for lifting. You can get last year’s versions on Amazon for a decent price. A lot of people like Flux, but they’re too cushioned for my taste.

  3 recs for Topo; looks like I should check them out!

The Topo brand might work for you. They have a wide forefoot like Altra, but are much narrower through the midfoot and heel. One of the complaints about Topo, though, is that some people find the arch support to be too much. They have low-drop (5mm) and zero-drop models.
- u/fromcurlstocurves1Aug 1, 2026, 5:01 PM
  Does drop refer to the amount of arch support?

Love my altras for the exact same reason, proper foot shaped toe box is a game changer. Topo is worth a look, they do a similar wide front narrow heel thing across most of their range. Lems primal are dead flat and wide but the heel is roomier so might not be ideal if your heel slips about. Inov8 used to do wide toe box models though theyve cut back a bit, check ebay for older flite or trailroc pairs if youre not fussed about colours

  This is helpful thank you!!

If you don't already know this, men's shoes are wider than women's -- if they aren't too wide through the heel/back of the foot, and your feet are big enough they're not off the bottom of men's sizes, try men's shoes. (Also more color options that aren't pink or teal, lol.)
- u/fromcurlstocurves1Aug 1, 2026, 5:30 PM
  Ouuu solid advice thank you!
u/Constant-Prog152Aug 1, 2026, 5:24 PM
I love my Altras, but I switch out the insole with a Z-liner. Makes them more comfy. A lot of other wide-toe-box brands are too minimalist for my tastes. (After seeing all then recommendations here, I’ll have to check out Topo!)
- u/fromcurlstocurves1Aug 1, 2026, 5:43 PM
  I’ve browsed some of the recommended websites already and I’m loving the Inov8 styles/colors so far!! I filtered for their weightlifting shoes and wide width and they look like they’d be really comfy. I’m excited to try them
u/andrekeepsit30002Aug 1, 2026, 5:24 PM
Orthofeet is really good, I’m obsessed. They offer a variety of widths and the shoes have a nice roomy toe area. Also they have HSA eligible options with a built in free service that writes a letter of medical necessity for you.
- u/fromcurlstocurves1Aug 1, 2026, 5:30 PM
  Oh very cool thank you for this!
