ok so I have never sought advice for this so please be kind.
I had surgery for hammer toe when I was just a toddler. both my middle toes have no reflex (muscle).... which has caused 3 things: my 2nd toes have grown exceedingly long to compensate (knuckle to knuckle they are the same length as my pinky), my 2nd and middle toe sits flat with no real arch, and the remainder sprawl out to the side to compensate.
I've never really had a pair of dress shoes that have had a good fit and relied heavily on skater shoes growing up for their cavernous toe areas.
I measure out to a 9.5D, but typically have to buy 10-10.5E's and liberal amounts of use of a spreader just to get my foot in but it feels like I'm just going about things wrong.
I've had decent luck over the years with AEs, but have been very hesitant to branch out past that.
Any feedback would be comforting.
