Looking for extra wide HOKA shoes
New Balance 880. I have the v15 in 2E and they’re nice. They also offer them in 4E width.

Best Running Shoes According to Reddit Users
There’s no one right answer and running shoes are wear items. Your foot, your stride, your running surface, and your stride all come into play. If you’re not overly experienced, your stride may change as you put in the miles and both get faster and find your stride. How you wear pairs out can be as informative as any running analysis. You basically run on a treadmill for a minute or two and stand on a foot pressure plate. I’m a heavier guy for a runner and I strike on the upper midfoot. My leg development favors my dominant side (left). Over time I wear the balls of my shoes down, especially the left, and it induces pronation. Something you don’t see in a gait analysis because I’m pretty balanced in new shoes and barefoot. I’m a heavier guy for a distance runner (ran a marathon at ~195) so I go with a more supportive shoe (usually NB fresh foam in a wide size) because I can do speed work in a supportive shoe but not distance work in a thin speed shoe and I’m not serious enough to have a rotation. Plus, I’ll take speed work being less effective and keeping my joints in better shape. If you’re really committing to a running routine, buy good shoes. You don’t need $200+ shoes with carbon fiber plates, but you should probably be in the $80-150 range of shoes that aren’t budget-tier, but aren’t competitive racer shoes. It’s going to take time and money and be a journey to figure this out, but such is the case with high-use wear items. Good luck.

shoe recommendations ‼️‼️
Standing for 10 hours with bunions is brutal, I dealt with similar foot pain for years before discovering IAMBIC (custom dress shoes made from foot scans). For your situation though, you'll want to focus on brands that specifically design for wider fits and all-day comfort. New Balance has some excellent work shoes in their Fresh Foam line that come in multiple width options, and they're built to handle long shifts. Hoka also makes incredibly cushioned shoes that tend to run roomier in the toe box which helps with bunion pressure. Brooks and ASICS both offer wide width options in their walking/work shoe lines too. The key is finding something with a deep toe box and good arch support since you'll be on concrete all day. Just make sure whatever you get has removable insoles so you can add custom orthotics if needed down the road.

Walking Shoes Recommendation?
I love my Birkenstocks, but have now jumped ship permanently (once I wear out my current pair, I won’t buy Birkenstocks anymore) to Bedrocks since they can be resoled and so comfortable. Definitely give ASICS a look as they make amazing running shoes. New Balance only 800s and 900s models.

best shoes for wide feet and high arches?
I had my feet scanned at Fleet Feet and I had both of these things. New Balance 880 wide with Currex Run-pro medium insole inserts. Beautiful. Can walk forever without pain. I thought the insoles were snake oil—I was wrong.

Wide sneakers suggestions
I don't have Achilles issues, but wide feet and high arches. New Balance 880 with Currex insoles have been fantastic. I also really like Karhu shoes.
