Default walking shoes.....

I'm sooo frustrated!.. I spent well over six hours yesterday, trying on dozens of pairs of walking shoes without finding a single pair where my heel did not slip out of when walking.

I have been a 9 to 9 1/2 wide shoe for years and years... but it didn't seem to matter what size I tried.. first few I tried were 8.5's.. they fit.. heel comes out, so I try regular width, heel slips out.. I went as far as trying on a pair of 7.5's and even then my heel slipped out of those.

I tried on Reebok, Nike, New Balance, Saucony, Ecco, Merrill, Easy Spirit, Asics and Ryka.

The shoes I'm using now are VERY old and not very comfortable, but far more than those with my heel popping out. I just don't know what to do! No one in any of the stores had any good suggestions that might help me.
