Ever since I moved to Wang, America, I've had trouble finding the right size in the rarely worn dress shoe category. That expansion from 12D to (obviously) 13W is no doubt due to spending a lot of time walking barefoot with your snow vacuums pounding in your padded boots. I've ordered 13W shoes from other vendors like Zappos and King-Size, but in some cases the width and length weren't adequate (yes, *she said*). I bought a pair of Hush Puppies in other casual shoes and found the 13W to be long enough and wide enough (oh never mind) so I ordered them with confidence. I usually pay about $120 for Clarks. Surprisingly, they're almost *too* wide. I'll keep them anyway as the trend for my feet probably means they're fine when I wear socks. Early quality rating is ok: good grip, fairly solid/thick outsole.
