I bought a pair of these shoes and had been wearing them prior to ordering another pair. After wearing the ones I already had for a few days, I initially loved them. Then after wearing all day and doing a lot of walking, they didn't give me the support I expected and the width was a bit tight. I wear a wide width shoe, and this one doesn't come in wide widths. I have foot problems, broke my heal years ago and need extra cushioning in the heal. I wear a size 8.5 Wide and the one I was wearing were 8.5 regular. If you have a wide foot, these will be too tight. I don't think going up to a 9 would work, as the shoe would not fit well. Otherwise, if you don't have foot problems or wide feet -- this is a great shoe. I like the leather, they are light on your feet, and made very well. I'm really sad they didn't work as I do like these shoes. I would recommend them to others if you have normal feet!
