I purchased these Easy Street Ease shoes, to replace a pair I had several years ago, as they were so comfortable. I always buy a size larger with mules so they don't irritate my heels. I ordered size 9 1/2 wide and they are tight--even though I normally wear a medium width!/ I suggest ordering a larger size and also a wide width as they seem to run small. Can't wait to get these shoes broken in, as they will be perfect.
