Yeah, I should contact an orthopedic. Sports specialist. Good idea.
I've used Lakes and even used shoe stretchers to make them bearable, but I eventually became frustrated and gave up

It might be a new topic, but you might hunt for some quality wide flat pinned pedals.

There are a lot of off-road cyclists that prefer flat pedals. And, it could significantly simplify your shoe choice (or give you options until you find your perfect shoe).
That's what I use now. I would like the option of clipless for certain trails and different techniques

The pins work great but they also eat into my shoes. Also, for some reason, clipless pedals always seemed to last longer with me.

I just might go this route, try on a pair and send them back if I have to. I don't like doing this, but desperate time....
