I recently watched a YouTube essay about this and completely agree. Luckily my foot isn't wide, so the shoes that I wear as my dailies don't push in my pinkie toe at all even though it doesn't have a particularly wide toe box, just a mix of soft flexible fabric and a slightly bigger size.
The video I watched does recommend a few shoes for people like you, I'd be happy to find it and send it if you'd like :)
Please do, it seems like every time I commit to a brand the owners say or do something distasteful. In expectation of that, these days I have a habit of exploring in advance. Shoes are one thing one can always use more of.
Here's the video: https://youtu.be/Ap990027tOY?si=h3pgJMEwOSf5p-y5
For ease, here's the list of shoes he recommends in the video description. Please note these are all affiliate links for the YouTuber as I've copied them from his description.
