they are made for people with wide feet and for people who do not care about proper foot support.  they are flimsy and wide and offer no support or structure at all...the sides lay out/down flat when you walk.  the foot beds are okay but could use a thicker padding. the heels are stitched in a way that rubs.  they are nice to look at but not good to wear.  Even if you order different sizes, they are very inconsistent so it is impossible to know if a different size would change things but it isn't offered in narrow so I know it wouldnt change that!
