A wide toe box is an absolute must for me. I like Altra’s for workouts and general use, and switching to Pearl Izumi X-Alp shoes completely transformed my cycling experienceI am finding that shoes with a wide toe box are amazing! I think my next workout shoe will be something with a wide toe box. I haven't searched yet because my Skechers are still in like new condition, but eventually, I'll be getting all wide toe box shoes.
