I have just worn these shoes for a day and they are so light and comfortable.  I needed a wider shoe and I have found that even a 2E is just fine for me.  Thank you to all the customers who advised that a size smaller might do the trick and they were right.  Shoes are well made and even though the tongue is a little high, the rubbing effect on the inner ankle will soon disappear as the material softens with wear.  Having the top laces a little loose helped me adjust to the shoes.  So far so good.

 I can recommend these shoes for serious walkers.  Never got sore feet despite walking up to 25 kilometres on some days.  I could have gone up half a size to a 9 and they would have been so perfect.  But entirely satisfied with them and look forward to wearing them again and again.  Hint - do a double knot otherwise the polyester cord unravel quite readily.
