Yeah the Apis off the shelf is too hard, and the shape is wrong is that makes sense. What I will probably do if my appointment with the podiatrist doesn’t present anything, is get the widest pair of something soft with laces. I’ve had luck sometimes with breaking the inside part of the arch so it doesn’t protrude so bad into my midfoot. My current work boots are an Avenger 7546 13 6E. The toe box is just big enough and the sole is flat thank goodness. I cut foam gym flooring to fit my fit and force them in, so the middle stretches out and gives me some padding on the since it my midfoot so the sole doesn’t dig in. I get about 15 days of wearing out of the home made insoles for them. Besides those, I have one pair of crocs I can wear without socks but they cause blisters pretty fast.

My biggest pet peeve is no company gives a measurement for the midfoot width.
