Everyone has preferences for footwear, so it may not be easy to find shoes that work for you, but IMHO it would be worth the effort, when you get the result.
Great shots of the ride, and congrats on "gettin' her done"!
I understand. There just isn't much out there in 8 1/2 EEE -- let alone with cleats. I have worn other shoes that should have been good and ended up with plantar fasciitis which is a curse from hell! Went back to the work boots and eventually it went away.
