I do not buy wide shoes.  I do have fairly wide feet, though, so this may not be an issue for every buyer.  Since I do not normally buy wide shoes, as I stated, I am a little puzzled that this shoe fits as it it does.

I can wear them for long periods but over time the outside of my feet will start to ache.

They look great, though.  No odd construction.  No odd or faded color.  No issues, thus far, with wear-and-tear.
