Need new kicks - Maybe wide width?

My right foot is in bad shape (my left foot is fine). My pinkie toe and the one next to it (ring finger toe...) have more blisters and painful raw skin than healthy skin. Literally, the entire two toes are just one big blister. My husband is convinced that I need wide width shoes. Can someone suggest a good pair? I'm willing to spend up to $100 for a pair that will be good for me.



TIA!

    I saw these shoes recommended on a podiatry website as having a very wide toe box. I have no personal experience with them.

    Do you have an actual running store/shop nearby? I don't mean footlocker or stores such as that. A store meant for runners normally have equipment and staff that are able to find the correct shoe for your feet. I have the same issues with my feet. I can't wear NIkE at all. I currently have a pair of Saucony shoes ( A little tight in the toes, but better in the arches than others. Asics normally have a bigger toe box as well.

    I have somewhat wide toes with a narrow heel. I like Asics for running. New Balance also is known to have wider widths. I wear them when I'm on the elliptical or bike. I second the running store idea. It's not just width to be concerned about, it's arch support and gait too. You can bring in an old pair and they'll look at your wear pattern. Good luck! You shouldn't have to deal with such bad blisters!
