My daughter has very wide feet.  I ordered this shoe in a 8.5 xw.  Usually a regular wide is not wide enough. When I first looked at this shoe I thought, there is no way it will fit her feet!  They just didn't look like a wide shoe, let alone extra wide!  This shoe was soooo comfortable!  Finally!!!  This is the first time my daughter has worn a shoe at school all day and still liked it at the end of the day.  We will be ordering this shoe again!!
