That's kinda my situation as well. while my feet are normal sized, my dance behind the wheel is more of a drunken high schooler than a well-choreographed tango. Thus, large wide soles have proven via trial & error (mostly error) to be a bad thing.

And while I admit I'm a cheapskate, I would rather spend more money once than spend a little money lots of times. (thus my asking for recommendations vs. buying close-out stuff and hoping it's good enough!)
