They look quite nice and are sort-of comfortable, but after a few hours in them, I found that the so-called wide fitting really isn't that wide. I got the 7 in the wide fitting - I usually get 7.5 to compensate for my wide feet- though they initially felt okay, it started to 'hurt' after a couple of hours. Also, I agree with some other reviews that say that it is on the 'short' side, that is, definitely NOT for the long-legged, and, you do need slim calves as well(there is a small adjustment buckle at the top)
