UK-based and looking for flat dress shoes for narrow feet, does anyone have any recommendations?

Hello shoe reddit, I am a man who (typically) wears size 12 shoes in a medium width.

I also tend to overpronate, so I usually buy stability shoes. Recently, I developed hallux limitus, which leaves my left big toe swollen and in pain when I walk.

I have tried on dozens of shoes, including the New Balance 860, Brooks Adrenaline, New Balance 1080, Karhu ikoni, Nike Pegasus, Asics kayano, Kuru WK450, and Topo Designs (I don't remember the model).

I haven't tried any Hokas because the Gaviots 4 previously caused discomfort. The On Cloudeclipse is what caused this problem in the first place.

I am now finding that the stability shoes I try on with guardrails will dig into the sole of my foot when I take a step and my foot spills over the side. I'm not sure where to go from here but I would appreciate some guidance. I've been eyeing Kuru, ABEO, and Gdefy, but I also can't keep buying and returning shoes forever.

Thank you for reading.

Hi! I'm a product design student in college and working on a footwear design project. I wanted to check in with the running community of reddit and see if there's any particular concept or idea you've always wanted to see come to life in shoes? Or even specific pain points you've encountered?

For example, I've been speaking with a few marathon runners and podiatrists about ankle, Achilles, and tendon pain. I've also been working on medical footwear concepts for children with cerebral palsy, and on the complete opposite spectrum design concepts for interchangeable shoes catered to athletes specifically.

Just collecting insight and data 🙂 Would love to hear your thoughts and questions!

I have a coupon to get Under Armor Phantom 1 for $50, which is nice that they have my size (between 16-17 US). I've never had UA shoes and couldn't find a good review for these. I mostly do a bit of walking at the gym, at work, but not standing all day. Are these comfortable? I'm also a bit heavy right now but do have Hoka's Bondi 7 and 9, just needing a few more pairs for backups while not breaking bank.

Looking for a shoe that will last for a very long time and is reasonably cheap. Should be waterproof and good for any weather. Design/brand isn’t that important.

I don’t know much about shoes, but the ones I buy always end up falling apart after a while. So I thought I’d ask you guys. Also, I have size 47 so they gotta be relatively big
