The only thing that's wide is the standard "comfortable relaxed fit sole" that comes with most Skecher shoes. with low and narrow rise. I hope these shoes end up giving a little, but two weeks later neither the heel nor the upper gave a millimeter. It's a shame because they could have been comfortable if they had an upper and a wide sole. They are either mislabeled or incorrectly assembled with the wrong top. THEY ARE NOT EXTRA WIDE!
