I usually by comp toe but needed very wide shoes, so I tried these.  These are wonderful.  Don't feel any heavier than my comp toes.  So comfortable that I leave them on when I get home.  These don't feel big and clunky like many of my other shoes.  I used to only buy Ariat brand but their quality is not the same anymore.  I bought size 9W in women's and they fit great.  I would have liked the shoelaces a bit longer since my feet are so wide.  I will by these again.
