It was a gift. My friend tried on DSW at the show so we already knew his size but I was a little nervous ordering from Amazon as it was my first shoe purchase. We were over the moon with happiness even though everything met our expectations. My boyfriend has wide feet and sometimes suffers from gout due to uncomfortable shoes so he wears these grandpa shoes for comfort and I had to buy them for him as I saw they were meant for comfort and style now he can feel comfortable and look great! I can't wait to check out the women's section and buy myself a pair.
