I went to a Dick's Sporting Goods to try on a pair of Nike shoes. They didn't have any 2E widths available and all the Nike shoes generally felt narrow.
I never liked most of shoes by brooks that my team wore. I did like the straight outsole ofvthe Dyad but it felt too thick. New Balance's SL-1 last seemed to work for me but I don't think they use that model anymore.
Bump
How about you go to an actual local running store and not Dicks- then I'll be obliged to give you a recommendation about what shoes to look at. That and if you went to an actual running store they would know what to fit you for as opposed to having to ask online.
Altra Running Shoes
Altra is a good option, though you will have to like and/or adapt to the lower or zero drop configuration. I have the same basic complaint you do. The fact that I need a 2E/4E width severely limits my shoe options. To this day, no manufacturer makes a racing or performance shoe in a width. I run races in trainers. The shoe world is almost entirely predicated upon the standard width. I do not know how so many men could comfortably fit a D width. I do not even measure a 2E or 4E--I measure a D width. My instep is somewhat high, and so I need a 2E or even a 4E. Every chance I could, when purchasing shoes, I politely suggest to those willing to listen that we need more shoes in widths, especially the lighter more race-oriented shoes. Shoe curvature is also an issue. I cannot recall a curved last that my two smallest toes have ever liked.
The new balance 880 series usually is straight lasted and doesn't crowd your foot as much. Ugly AF shoe but it's an option
The NB 840 may perhaps work for you. It features a straight last. I tried a pair recently (it is about the only show like this I have not tried), and, indeed, it is supremely comfortable, with plenty of width and probably the largest to box I have ever known. I ended up voting against the shoe, though, as I thought it somewhat clunky and I did not like the tongue. If you like the tongue, it can make a good trainer. My 4E Asics Nimbus are my best shoe overall, and so I am still looking more for a lightweight/fast option than a trainer.
Shoe options that have a nice wide fit to them...
NB 1080 (D-4E), Saucony Triumph (2E?), Brooks Dyad (comes in D-4E as well), Brooks Ghost may fit, surprisingly the Mizuno Enigma is fairly wide as well. If you are into Nike the Vomero and Pegasus do come in wides but are harder to find.
saucony ride and NB 880, dyads for real runners. available in 2e (and 4e for the 880 i think)
NB is pretty good with widths, check out the 890 for a lighter shoe avail in wide (tho you might have to go through them to get it), not sure if they make the 1400 in wide but probably not.
hitogami from mizuno and brooks launch are wider for racing shoes but still not great. new kinvara has a really baggy upper and is somewhat accomodating.
ditto to what the guy said about going to a running store though. they exist for a reason.
The Altra Repetition is an appropriate choice for the roads and groomed, non-muddy trails. Many of the other shoes in the line may have a wide footbox but they are lacking in the height of that toebox.
I haven't found a Hoka shoe that is sufficiently wide ... I have had to do shoe surgery to make them work.
Zero drop wasn't a significant problem for me. Took just a few days.
Skechers Go Bionic are the best. I have flat, wide feet, and I found that even though they are more minimalistic, my feet still feel 10 times better after a long run than using traditional shoes, which are unsuited to my feet.
OP, you have to remember that 2E shoes aren't actually wider than their D counterparts. They just have uppers that allow for more volume. It's an idiotic system at best.
Nobody's foot really fits in a D shoe without the last two toes generally being squished.
Check out this guys' site, it's solid.

The Mizuno Cursoris is an appropriately wide shoe, try it out.
The Altra's are supposedly wide, but they aren't actually much different than a normal shoe.
