These shoes are comfortable and stylish although they will take 2 or 3 days to break in. but i also have a wide foot and this shoe was sold out in a size that was just right for me. For people with normal feet, this is probably normal. However, they are not designed for heavy walking and if you use them as everyday shoes and walk frequently (more than 6,000 steps a day) they wear out quickly (3 to 5 months). This is a great second shoe though, just don't overdo it like I did.
