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?

Actually just bought a pair of Altra Escalantes a week ago and I LOVE them. For reference I run part-time in an old pair of Brooks (can't remember what model?) and totally barefoot, so I thought I'd like something that's kind of in between. The Escalantes obviously don't feel the same as barefoot, but I can appreciate the in-between-ness.
