I've tried the Vapours but they didn't suit my long toes, so could be a winner for you. They are definitely wide at the toebox and narrower at the back. The instincts were good but you might find the toebox a bit high volume if your toes are very short.
I'd recommend trying the stix on, as I said they sell them at the works in Sheffield. They are quite cheap too. They seemed to offer more support in the arch but still smeared really well but the arches were a bit high for me.
