I was very excited when I ordered these, and was anticipating a great pair of shoes. I have bought Sperrys before, and they were the most comfortable shoes I own. I am on my feet and walk a lot at work, so I really need comfortable shoes. I was very disappointed when I received these.

They do run really narrow as others have reported. I usually wear size 9 M, but I ordered 9 Wide, because of what I had read in other reviews. The 9 Wide barely fit. They are the same width as the 9 M Sperry's I bought elsewhere recently. They aren't as wide as another pair of Sperry's I bought a few years ago. And that's not because the old pair are stretched out. The sole of the shoe is actually narrower.

These are also not as comfortable as the other Sperrys that I have. There is a lining inside that doesn't reach all the way to the toes, and I can feel where it ends on the ball of my foot, and it is not comfortable. Also they aren't as cushiony feeling as my older Sperrys.

So I don't know if Sperry quality has gone down, or these are fakes, as some have reported. Not at all happy with these shoes.
