so I have ridden "clipped in" since I started right seriously back in the mid-90s.. tried platform pedals at one point and just don't care for the feeling of not being connected to my pedal.. anyway, I have wider feet with a bunion and find Lake wide shoes to be godsend to my feet.. in non-cycling specific shoes, I'm a big fan of Keen shoes as their toe box seems to be wider, even in their "normal width" shoes.. I'd recommend checking out a pair, they are lots of different styles to suit your needs..
