Lumpy heels (haglunds deformity in my case and indeed narrow heel) eat shoes if fit not good. If at all similar to mine take care as I have previously caused bursitis by continuing to wear once throughout through to plastic heel cup.
I have no real answer other than trying lots of shoes. I need the heel to be well below/above my lump and minimal sliding. I sometimes use heel lock lacing. I previously have used duct tape, sniper tape or even glued in shiny orthopaedic foam, but I think these all need applying prophylactically.
On the Scarpa recommendation and similar in styling I have these https://www.bergzeit.co.uk/scarpa-mojito-basic-shoe/ sole a reasonably robust vibram number and lacing to toe should allow a fine tuned fit for most.
