These shoes were good but 1/2 over (longer) than what I usually wear at Cole Haan although this is not uncommon as I find that Cole Haan's size is consistent with inconsistency even within the same line ie OriginalGrand, ZeroGrand etc. It always seems to be "hit or miss". The width of the shoes seemed normal to me. Another oddity I encountered with these shoes was that the left side made an annoying squeak. Maybe it will pass, I can't tell, but I've never had a new shoe squeak.
