Happily Surprised....  I have a high instep and normally wear a size 7W but in hiking boots, need that extra 1/2 size for thicker socks and room for my toes to breath :-)  I am so happy I ordered these shoes!  Great quality and plenty of toe box room.  Although they originally looked that they might be too wide, there's plenty of space between the shoe's lace loop ties to quickly tighten if they do become too wide.  With the exception of the original insole, which had too high of an arch for me, and which I easily replaced with a set of my older inserts, these shoes are so, so comfortable!  Although these are brand new and not yet "broken-in",  like a previous reviewer, I think I could wear these to bed!  Love the light blue color of the mesh too - they go great with jeans.  Can't wait to go hiking on vacation, which was the original reason for this buy, but I can see now that these will be my everyday "walking-the-dog" shoes.
