Try a shoe with a more rigid forefoot.  I like the Ryka shoes, with a 
wide toe box and narrow heel, lasted just for women.

Running shoes have very flexible forefoot area, so try ones labeled 
as "cross trainers".

I loved my Roper Cross Trainers (riding boots) but got horrible shin 
splints when off of the horse, and they were slippery on hills.

Ryka makes a "water shoe" that I haven't tried yet.  The model I have 
has lasted for a whole season through lots of water crossings, and I 
bought them at Shoe Pavillion (a discount place) for $39.

Had used New Balance shoes before these, but with the wider heel 
they'd wear out there first, from rubbing up and down while I posted 
the trot.  Good source for New Balance shoes at a discount is 
http://where-do-i-buy-new-balance-running-shoes.com/  New Balance Web 
Express.  I was very pleased with their service; lots of closeout 
models from which to choose.
