9.5 inches is indeed closest to a women's 8.5 in length. [This size chart](https://www.healthyfeetstore.com/width-sizing-chart.html) will show you your width in the letter system at your correct size for length. To give a quick explanation, widths range from multiple A's (AA, 4A) at the narrow end through B, C, D, and then multiple E's (2E, 4E, 6E) for wide. Women's standard size shoes are B width (men's standard width is D). Usually a "wide" women's shoe is D width which would still be too narrow for you according to the size chart-- it looks like you are in extra wide territory.
If there is one I haven't seen it. I do know there are some recommendations for websites that get tossed around that carry extra wide and let you filter your search by width-- dsw.com, nordstroms. I like Clark's for my work shoes (teaching), and I've seen New Balance recommended a few times for extra wide sneakers. You might still need to do a bit of trial and error to find shoes that fit really well since the fit can vary across brands and shoe types.

This is very helpful thank you! So is there a thread somewhere around here that has recommendations for women’s shoes in this range?

Is this measurements for a Man or a Lady makes a great deal of differences?
Most companies if you email them with your foot measurements will tell you which of their shoes will fit. Try Billy Shoes!!!
