I ordered wide shoes because I usually prefer wide shoes without laces. I have another pair of New Balance men's overalls in the same size 7w and they fit perfectly. Upon arrival, I quickly tried to put them on, it wasn't a quick process. If you are a true wide angle (2e) this is not for you. There are no real concessions when it comes to the material to put on and take off. I put them in my closet in a box with the thickest winter socks I have, put them in, they barely stretched, I'm trying them on in the store today. Let's see if they improve in the coming weeks, I'll update.
