Is there a solution or type of surgery for people who have a problem with very wide feet? If so what are they?

There is not a surgery to narrow the foot. If you are having pain then inserts called orthotics may be of some help.

I am not aware of surgery that can reduce the size of feet, only to remove the smallest toe so narrow sandals etc. look better. There's no denying your feet are large and footwear must be a problem but since you cannot change the size of your feet you will just have to accept them. Have you explored searching on line for larger size shoe suppliers?

I dont think its possible to get surgery to make your feet smaller because the size of you feet depends on how tall you are and they kep you balanced
