Wide toe box and comfy but not frumpy flats/trainers

I can't wear Converse because they are very narrow in the toe, and I've been wearing Superga. However, I now find I can't walk about comfortably all day in them - they have been my go-to for work wear with trousers and this is gutting TBH. Ideally something I could wear with dresses too but that't not necessarily crucial.
I definitely don't want anything that looks like white trainers - and I don't want to spend £200. I usually find a style I like and then buy new pairs on ebay/Vinted but I don't really want to buy from there first off.

327s have a wide toe box. I also like Gazelles for my v wide feet.

Converse do a wide fit range if that's the look yo want.

I think I'm possibly looking for something nearer Gazelle. I suspect that the flat sole of Converse will be part of my new issue with Superga.

I do get on well with Camper @rbe78 - some of their trainers have a very thick sole (don't want it too thin, don't want it too thick, don't want it too sporty - I'm a fussy beggar) but some look great. I might even risk Campers on Vinted actually.
