I was pleasantly surprised by the fit of these shoes. I have a wide foot and can wear a 10W, a 10 1/2 or even an 11, depending on the cut of the shoe. The Angie-53s have some give to them. I had read this tidbit about the 53s in a previous comment and its true. One thing though, the shoes have an odor similar to new tires. I put them outside on a windy day and they aired out, thankfully.
