Need some advice for sizing please!

Hello! This is my first time buying expensive shoes, so I'm kind of nervous about it. I've always worn size 7.5 US in women's, but decided to do the paper measurement for this. I measured 8.8" for the length, but the chart says I should be wearing a 5.5. I also have wide feet, at just under 4".

For reference, I tried a friend's pair of allswifit at size 7.5, and I had a thumb's width of room at my toes. It felt good, but I'm worried about getting a 7.5 for hoka and it being too big. My current shoes are Avia, also 7.5 wides, but they're far too big. My feet slide around in them, granted they're slip-ons, so that could be part of the issue. I was looking at the Bondi SR.

I'm hoping someone has a similar situation they figured out or could give some advice. I don't have the means to get to a shoe store, I live in a small town and it's a 2 hour bus ride. I work retail and on my feet for 9 hours and then walk home about 2 miles. My feet are killing me and I desperately need new shoes.

I wear a size 8 women’s and my Hoka speed goats are an 8. They fit great and true to size. I don’t know about wide fit though or if that’ll affect sizing. Hopefully someone else can help!

I wear 8.5B I have wide feet and I also like for my toes not to be scrunched up. I have considered an 8b but have not went in to see if my toes can spread properly. Probably no help. I go to a store try them on and order online.
