Trainers that are wider across ball of foot - recommendations please!

Please recommend me a brand of trainer for everyday wear such as school run and shops, that is wider across the ball of the foot. Not getting on with converse or Adidas, they seem to be too straight. I often don't realise until I've actually worn them out, and can't afford to keep making mistakes.

Nike Air force 1's are the only trainers that I find comfortable with my wide toes. I feel like my feet are being hugged with clouds when wearing them.

ASICS gel pulse for running.
Etnies or DC Shoe co for everyday.

I was told Brooks, New Balance, Oncloud and Hoka are the only sports trainers that you can get in a ladies wide fit (‘D’ width) . Mens fit trainers will also be wide, but are shaped differently (broader in the heel as well). I have the all birds mizzles, which now they’re moulded to my feet are comfortable, but warm even without socks.. so I’m looking at the other lighter weight ones for summer.

I have wide feet and struggle with converse and Adidas Stan Smith’s but I find Fitflop Rally trainers great. Recently wore them on a city break with loads of walking and my feet were fine.

If fashion trainers rather than sports, my Puma Calis feel wide across the front.

Thanks for this recommendation @bigTillyMint
i used to have Fitflop f-sportys. I find their Rallys are not as wide. And I need wide toe boxes for my stupid feet.
I looked at the Calis, and they do look wide, so ordered some (in the sale too!) and I’m wearing them today. So far so good! I sized up to a 5.5.

Hello

New balance do wide fitting and are great quality .

reebok is wide too.

New Balance do a ladies wide fit, but I've just taken delivery of some NB trainers that are for youths rather than ladies, and those are quite wide.
Fitflop trainers are also wide-ish.
