Fingers crossed that you have found something that works for you!
FWIE I am a New Balance men's 8 4E, and I have found great pricing on places like shoes.com, when they are offering "discounts". Because NB is wonderful at being consistent with their sizing. The issue for me can be how the pronation or supination is set up in the shoe.
And if folks question the assigned gender of a shoe I want to look at then I ask them if they are always in the habit of telling a customer that they are wrong. Or if they want to lose a sale. Or if they realize that the men's designated shoe is made with better quality materials which are thicker and more durable.
(The latter was most effective when I was shooping at Bass and I had them pull both kinds of penny loafers in my size and they could literally see the difference. That and the women's isn't made in my width)
