Shoe recs?

Looking for shoe recs, and feel I’ve hit a dead end. Male, late 30s, mostly for at home workouts and resistance training, lifting up to 45-60 lbs, light rowing, and occasional stair master. I have the brooks ghost max 3 running shoes in wide which fit like a glove, they are perfect. Cannot for the life of me find a suitable trainer. So far I’ve tried

Adidas dropset 4 - to narrow in toes

Lens primal 3 - way too much toe volume

Xero trainers - way too much toe volume, and hurts the bridge when tied down

Reebok nano wide - rubs/squeezes big toe and side of toe

Tyr flow wide - not enough toe volume

UA reign 6 - used to be great but over the years began crushing toes.

3-4 am hike?

Looking for an early morning, 3 am to 4 am hike in the Scottsdale area. Considering gateway trail but I’m not from around here so i was curious how early the parking lot is available or if there are gates.

Or alternatively, any 3 am to 4 am hike. I was in town a couple years ago and did piestewa and it was fantastic. Welcoming all recs.

TYIA!

Edit: to all those talking down due to heat, read the post and it’s a little critical thinking. 3-4am until about 7 am is below 90 degrees and easily safely hikeable.

I did Toms Thumb when the gate opened, was done by 6:30’and was more than comfortable the entire time. But please let me jump back out there after 10 am when they close due to excessive heat…. /s

Two to Three Days in Tucson

Hey all, visiting Tucson for two to three days this weekend and looking for hikes. I am a pretty experienced hiker, so looking for the best hikes, bonus points for difficult/strenuous hikes. I will be heading out early in the morning 4-5a.m. start time and looking to be done by 10. Would love any suggestions in and out of Saguaro.

Also would welcome night time hiking ideas.

TIA
