These shoes seem a little bit wider than I would expect for a D (medium) width. My solution was to add some cushioned insoles and to wear a little bit thicker sock than I normally wear and that way they fit perfectly. I guess I would rather they be a little spacious than too tight. The color is pretty true to the picture and they work as casual or semi-dressy shoes. I've always found Deer Stags to be comfortable and durable.
