When first putting these on,I thought they were a bit too tight. But they are leather and need a breaking in period. After wearing for a week , My feet were killing me.Hurting so bad, I alternated every other day for another week. About the best I could do was loosen all the shoestrings to relieve the pressure on the sides of my feet. The width of my feet are E or normal.These shoes are not normal width by a long shot.Its really too bad.They are a top quality built shoe. But because of the narrowness, I can't recommend them. Nor do I plan to ever buy this brand again unless I see them in a store and try them on first.
