Construction looked solid.  Synthetic upper seemed nice.  I liked the thin cushioning on the tongue and upper.  The length of the shoe was on the dot.  I returned them.  Width was size B, not D.  I ordered a half size large, because I know soccer shoes tend to be too thin, but it was still way too tight for the toes.  I went ahead and measured length and width with a ruler, and looked figures up online.  The width (for 11.5) was 3.855&#34; when 4.2&#34; is appropriate.  That is about 8% too skinny.  The effect was like cramming my toes into vacuum-wrap, and the toes still couldn't quite reach the end (they shouldn't, since I ordered a half size up).  I did not need to walk around in them; they were clearly not fitting.  Note: If you are used to skinny soccer shoes (they are the norm), you can play fine in them 1.5 – 2 sizes large.  The exaggerated V-shaped toe applies enough pressure to other parts of your foot (smaller toes, top, and sides of feet) that your foot will not slide around in a properly tied shoe.  There is the added benefit that you can safely &#34;toe&#34; the ball, because there is half an inch between your toes and the toe of the shoe.  It can hurt your foot and make the shoe degrade quickly if you play much soccer, so I am looking for an alternative instead of reordering larger.  UPDATE: I eventually ordered a 12.5 in these shoes, which will fit okay with new insoles.  They are long but wearable, and they should last a while (last Adidas pair were good for 6 years of mid-level use for me).  It's hard to find soccer shoes with a normal length to width ratio, unless you jump into the $100+ range.  The good news is they stretch a little, so I almost could have fit in a 12.  Maybe.  Having played with them, I noticed that the sole is rather weak.  This is fine on firm ground fields, but it's a pain with the artificial turf I've had to play on lately.  One blister is trying to form on my right pinky toe, which is situated halfway over the edge of theinsole and gets extra friction from that.  Overall, a decent option for forty bucks (given that most alternatives have the same issue), but not something to jump at.  For one alternative, at my in-store quests, I noted Bravia cleats seemed to fit with a more normal width, but they seemd less durable and weren't available in the right size, and I decided to go with these above.
