Barefoot Shoe Suggestion for XX-Wide Feet? (self.running)

I have 4-E feet. And I jog on the daily. Trying to find some good (cheap-ish, since I've been looking for work forever; I realize that will probably negate the "good") wide shoes.

For most of my life I used New Balance. They're really clunky. I did buy some WHITAM's on Amazon, but (while "naked' enough) the eyelet broke within the first 2 weeks and they're starting to fall apart. Not surprised because they were cheap & made in China.

Should I just stick with WHITHAM/New Balance? Any others people would recommend?

Gonna add some more support for Xero shoes. I've been running in a pair of their zelen running shoes for about a year and have been happy with them.

I've also liked Topo shoes in the past. They're kind of a middle ground padding wise - definitely some padding but a lot less than a traditional running shoe.
