I buy this shoe to stabilize my feet, as I tend to over-pronate. If I walk in shoes that don't prevent the over-pronation, my knees start to hurt from the strain.  This shoe does a great job with the stabilization.  I've given it only 3 stars, however, because of my beef with all tennis shoes with this webbing design on top of the shoes; I wear a hole through the top of these shoes within about 60 days, as I am walking hills here.  I buy new shoes every 6 months; every 2 months would be over the top.  I live in Hawaii, so leather shoes really are not an option for me.  Otherwise...these are comfortable shoes, and I appreciate their being offered in the D width.
