I have wide feet and was skeptical about buying them based on other reviews. Yes, they were a bit tight when I first wore them. They did start to stretch out a bit though. I have 2 pair of the pick pocket tee shirt material shoes that fit perfectly from the beginning. I was a bit disappointed that these didn't fit perfectly like the others, but am glad they they have started to conform to my Fred Flinstone feet. I love the look of these and highly recommend them!!
