Foot-shaped shoes

Does anyone know of any good foot-shaped shoes that are not barefoot shoes?

I don't know how else to describe them, I don't mean the weird barefoot shoes with toes. I don't want barefoot shoes at all as I like a good sole under my foot. But narrow shoes are hurting me and I see a growing trend for shoes that are made wider in the toe area.

All my searches bring up barefoot shoes. Does anyone know of any like this that aren't barefoot style?

Duck feet shoes.

The foot on the right is still restricted though! Shoes need to provide room for the big toe (primarily but all toes really) to splay in motion as it/they should.

True enough. Just finding a basic illustration to show it’s not just about width but about shape.

Is that a criticism or a suggestion of a brand?

I have been wearing some barefoot shoes I bought from Amazon, the brand is Hobibear. They are about £35 , I wanted to try out barefoot shoes without spending huge amounts on the expensive brands like Vivo if they didn't suit me. I've been really impressed with these cheaper shoes - the sole is quite thin and flexible but I haven't found it uncomfortable on normal pavements and grass.

Fair, it is certainly frustrating how often shoes described as wide are only wide at the ball of the foot and then squash the toes.

Mainstream, Ecco or Sketchers seem to have a bit more toe room
