I don’t think the flatness would be a problem, most of my life I’ve worn skate shoes rather than proper trainers. I think I’ve also had a habit of buying them too big for me up until very recently so this might be why I’m now feeling my feet will be a bit crammed into them. Also wearing sandals more will be allowing my feet to spread out during the summer I guess.
In the winter I have some cheap Karrimor waterproof hiking shoes which I wear for riding and any out of the city walking. I thought about spending money on a better version of these last year but didn’t find much I fancied. Im also also pretty hard on them, get them manky, soaked etc, don’t really clean them, so while I don’t mind doing this to £30 Karrimors it makes thinking about spending decent money on some a bit harder.

Yeh, barefoot shoes usually have thin soles, no arch support and are zero drop.Be careful transitioning to zero drop if youve spent your whole life in 'high heels'. The fact that popular culture encourages us all to squeeze our toes into narrow toe boxes is bizarre. As you have found out, it's much more comfortable and healthy to allow your toes to spread.
