This shoe offers a very sizable width.  If you typically need a WIDE width, you may want to consider a medium width.  I tried a WIDE width and it was too large and too wide (might be more appropriate for anyone needing an extra wide).  I liked the knot on the side - it gave a nice embellishment and since I have large feet, I thought the embellishment gave the shoe a slimming appearance.  It has a relaxed casual look - not too dressy but would be fine with dress pants.  The shoe felt comfortable however I'm basing this only on trying the shoe on briefly to ensure it fit - which it didn't.  Historically though in my opinion, Easy Street is a very comfortable brand so I believe this shoe would offer all day comfort if you can find your correct size.  How I wish shoe manufactures had consistent sizing.......Good Luck!
