This. Even 'narrow' fittings are often super-wide on me. And you generally cannot return shoes once they've been worn outside.

People who actually have money don't tend to try so hard
Good shoes are like a classic car. They need servicing and tic to ensure longevity. Quality shoes make that process easier and that is what you pay for. I tend to have my shoes re-lifed each year, costs around 100 quid per pair but the come back with new heels/soles and re-lifed leather, stretched to remove wrinkles. Look at them as something you need to spend time maintaining and looks for shoes that make that easier or come from a manufacturer who offers that. I like Oliver Sweeney shoes for example, not all of the, they have ranges at different price ranges but their better shoes I send off for them to work on.

I could do it locally but frankly the savings are not as much was you might imagine.
Don’t get the fuss really, a £15 pair of Primarks / George (ie the cheapest you can get) feel super comfy once worn in, as do most shoes.
I can't believe someone who was considering the purchase of a £100k car walks around in George and Primark shoes.Don’t get the fuss really, a £15 pair of Primarks / George (ie the cheapest you can get) feel super comfy once worn in, as do most shoes.
Can anyone recommend decent shoes in size 13 or 14 UK / 46 or 48 EU in an ultra-narrow fit? I typically wear the Justin Reece Oliver shoes in size 14 but they're not high quality.

An E fitting is not narrow. I take a B fitting, or D if my foot is swollen.
Narrow Fitting shoes - UK E Fitting (in the old days known as Fitting 5).
