I also have wide feet.And just started wearing these shoes.All I can say the fit is very good.
Also your LBS should find you right size shoes.I bought mine online.
I just read your looking to save money.I know many say you should support your LBS.I do buy from one kind of LBS.but they are over 1 hour away,and I do not drive much by choice.But they also ship at A low cost.
I like the Shimano PD type pedals also for the road.
Enjoy your new ride.
