I am absolutely delighted with the purchase of these shoes for my husband. He's a tall man with very wide shoes, a size 13. Also, he tends to be quite stiff in his shoes (more due to ill-fitting shoes I think) resulting in a "bulge" or flattening of the back. In this case, despite my protests, he chose lower-quality shoes. I ordered these shoes without his knowledge and they arrived at the perfect time - just before our holiday last week. He tried them on and they looked GREAT! He also said they fit really well and feel very comfortable. They hold up great and are very versatile - suitable for both 'social' casual wear and office casual/casual wear.
