My Feet are extra wide and I usually buy Extra Extra Wide shoes. Most companies do not even sell shoes wide enough for my feet. I bought the size a half inch longer than what my heel to toe is and these fit perfectly. Just enough room for my toes to breath.Again my feet are wide so the sole of these shoes are slightly under the sides of my feet. But, I do not feel uncomfortable. The sides of these shoes stretch and allow my feet into the shoe. It is a good balance seems how shoes almost never fit me at all.This is definitely an initial impression. But, I had to write a review because I buy and return shoes all the time because they never fit correctly.People should be aware though it looks like Amazon is sending out returned items. Because, when I received these shoes the cone at the end of the lace was not there. I assume someone bought them and returned them. But, didn't return the cone. I am not making a big deal of it because the shoes do not look worn and I would have thrown the cone away anyhow. But, I have been having issues lately with Amazon products looking like they were previously returned and being sold as new in box. But, that is nothing against the product itself.
