I've had these shoes for maybe a year but have only worn them about 4-5 times. I do have wide feet, but the 8.5 I ordered fit perfectly fine. I went to put them on this morning, and the zipper popped in the middle. I read other reviews on different websites, and had a girl friend who's zipper popped as well, but I didn't think it was going to happen. I was wrong! Now have to bring these to the shoemaker to see if they can fix the zipper.<br />=[
