I recently discovered two brands that I'd never tried before. They both accommodate orthotics, and have the softest leather (as soft as the Taos sneaker). The first is Waldlaufer, a German company, that makes some of its shoes on an H last (C to D width). I bought these patent Sasha oxfords in store:

The patent is super, super soft. I had a little trouble with the shoe flopping because my feet are low volume (no arch), but a heel grip or a pad under the tongue should probably solve this issue. The thicker, platform sole makes them look trendy, and allows the shoe to be worn with both pants and skirts.
The second company is Cloud. Casual, but again super soft. I got these in black, and like the Waldlaufer's, intend to wear them with both pants and skirts (albeit black on black). These look narrower than the Waldlaufer's, but still accommodated my feet and made them look smaller.
They might not be the most fashion forward shoes, but if you have as many problems with your feet as I do, then both pairs are a wonderful, versatile discovery.
