I know you said you're buying the largest size you can find, but how much larger is it than your typical shoe size?

I'm also a distance runner, and I was going to suggest the same thing. Try experimenting with shoes that are 1 or 1.5 sizes bigger than what you would normally wear. Also, I'm a big fan of WrightSock. They are essentially two thin layers of sock; the design greatly reduces friction on the skin and nails. https://www.rei.com/b/wrightsock?r=b...google|main|NB
