I read the reviews before I purchased these shoes and they seemed to be the perfect shoe for my foot. I am flat footed so they provide the support that I need and they have plenty of room so that my wide foot is not cramped up. I wear a size 8 in regular shoes and an 8 1/2 in my running shoes. I ordered an 8 1/2 and they fit perfectly and I love love them!! 5 stars and 5 thumbs up!
