Good shoes, but a little awkward fit

First Hoka shoes I have bought and while they're robust, clearly well made and stand up in all weathers, I found the fit to be quite uncomfortable.

They're a little narrow, so the toe box doesn't have much room, and there are points that rub on my longer runs (the instep and under the laces). The area under the laces has the most impact due to the material rubbing on the top of my foot.

These are OK for a shorter run (10k) but no good at all for the ultra distances I wanted to use them for. Back to Inov8 for me.

Advantages
Good grip
Robust
Disadvantages
Rubbing
small fit

Question from Neil
02.07.2020
Do the speedgoat 4 come in an extra wide 4e fit?

I have been looking at speedgoat 4 and I noticed your the only company showing an extra wide as well as a wide option are these genuinely a 4e extra wide?
King Regards
Neil
