Everyday trainers with wide toe box and arch support recommendations

Hello! I’m not completely sure whether this is the right place to ask, since ‘stylish’ may be a stretch, but I’d appreciate any advice.

I'm after some trainers for everyday wear (not sports) that have a wide toebox or preferably anatomical shaping, but aren’t barefoot shoes as I need support for high arches and I can suffer with plantar fasciitis. Does such a thing exist? And if they do, are there options that don’t look like othorpaedic shoes? Thanks in advance.

new balance wide- 880 or 1080. Wide fit shoes have them. Weirdly also saucony jazz seem to work, and reebok club c85.

They’re massive though. My feet looked like boats in them, had to send back

I didn't find them massive. They're the only trainers I've had to have a comfortable toe box and I've got quite narrow feet.

Thank you for posting this. After seeing this I went and bought a pair of KNX leather trainers. They arrived today and they fit! All over! I can't believe it. And the leather is buttery soft. I went to try to buy another pair as they're almost half price but they've sold out in my size 😥
