Update one month later.  To me they are wearing out quickly. The soles seem to have lost the cushion it had when I first got them. I am on my feet 7 to 10 hours a day. They look good but I am not sure about the thick sole any more.  I put inserts in them as I have to do with every shoe I buy, even with the inserts they still feel like they are loosing the cushion. Still a great shoe but maybe not for everyday all day wear

I wear a 7.5 w and thats what I got!  Fit is perfect with a little wiggle room for the toe box.  For example: compare if you usually have to go up a size in Nike then don't with these. But make sure u get a wide if the ball of foot is wide.  They will fit great. I love that the sole is thick and it has arch support.  It feels like you have a shoe on. Feels very stable and if your like me and you need a good foundation of a shoe beneath you then u will like them. First impression is good fit. Well made and fashionable.not thin and prissy and it doesnt look like old lady shoes either.  I will give an update in a few months.  They are getting ready to be wore for long hours at a time.
