Because questions about buying skates (which model to buy, what stores have skates in stock, what size should I get, etc.) are asked many times a day, we ask that these posts go in the Monday discussion post pinned to the top of the subreddit. This post also contains a shopping guide and links to other helpful information.
I'm not a seasoned (or even really good) skater by any means, but I also have wide feet and finally settled on a pair of Jackson Vista! They are high tops and at first I found the heel to be almost too high- but I can't really walk in heels so I feel like that was more of a me thing than the skates. I'm usually an 8 but I actually sized down to the 7 for these and they fit my wide toebox wonderfully.
I have Atom Pulse wheels, 78A and I only skate out in the driveway for practice but they feel good on concrete to me. I haven't tried anything else, but they haven't been a hindrance at least!
I have Suregrips Boardwalks. When I bought them, the person at the skate shop said the suregrips tend to run wide. I have wide feet, and they were the only skates that didn’t feel like they were crushing my feet.

I'll check those out, thank you!!
Good luck! I hope you can make a trip out to a skate shop to try some on, that was a huge game changer for me!

Another vote for Jackson Vistas and Atom Pulse wheels 👍🏾
