Quite High in the Instep

Where can I find reasonably cute wool or wool-lined women's shoes that will fit a high instep?

Winter is coming. I hate socks. Enter wool/felt-lined shoes, the ideal solution. I ordered these flats from Stegmann, but once again am foiled by my super high instep--they are uncomfortably tight across the top edge. Anyone know where I might find something similar with some more room across the top? Strong preference for slip-ons.

I am familiar with Allbirds and they are my fallback, but I like the Stegmann because they were a little cuter/less utilitarian in look.

I have wide feet and have the same problem with regular-width shoes, where the shoe vamp is too tight across my foot. Switching to a wide-width shoe is one thing to try.

I have wide/high feet and am very comfortable in Taos felted clogs. I love them. I don’t know how their more “shoe” style shoes would be.

I have a very high instep and love love love my glerups. The ones I have are the "boot" style, but I think they're all pretty similar.
