I no longer wear New Balance after they overhauled their entire line a few years ago. I don't wear Nike or Puma either. For some reason their shoes are unusually narrow.
Most of the widths offered by brands are for those chunky models. (Kayano/Beast/Dyad for ex.) No Thanks.
Does anyone know of any medium width neutral or stability shoe models that also fit wide feet?
Thanks
Check out Saucony. Their shoes usually have a little bit more generous of a fit. They also aren't that clunky. The 8mm drop helps with transition and feels more fast. You could check out the Guide (stability), and Ride (neutral).
Altra and Hoka also fit wider feet a little better. They are more specific though with shoe geometries. If you can run in a 0mm-6mm drop shoe those brands would be worth checking out also.

How about adidas or asics?
The running shop I work for doesn't sell Adidas but from what I have read Adidas runs narrow. You might be able to fit into an Asics but would have much better luck with ording a wider width. Even then, Asics shoes are still going to feel a little clunky compared to other brands.
I have the same problem with Nike and Puma. It's not just your imagination, they are a touch narrow. asics fit me well.
The Nike Pegasus or Lunarglide 6 fit wide.
Skechers GoRun Ride fit wide and are light, fast, and cushioned.
On average, Adidas run narrower, although the Glide and Sequence are wider.
On average, Saucony run narrow.
Altra run wide, but length is often way off, and most of their shoes I have found stiff, slow, and clunky (One2 is an exception).
Hoka's fit somewhat wide.
New Balance have many wide options, e.g. the 980 Fresh Foam in EE is fast.
If you want a wide fitting racing shoe, the Asics Tarther is a personal fave, if you can find it. As is the Skechers GoRun or GoRun2.
Full disclosure, I have wide feet and train in the Hoka Clifton's, Bondi 3's, and Skechers GoRun Ride (original), and race in the Skechers GoRun 2.
I usually need EEs for my wide feet. And yeah, that often means a clunkier shoe. Then I discovered Brooks PureFlows. Love the forefoot fit and the responsiveness.

Have you try Lydiard lacing? It's supposed to help forefoot fit.
