The shoes seem comfortable walking a short distance.  I really need to take my old shoes along with me to wear in Disneyworld, should these become uncomfortable after a few miles.

My tipoff that the shoes are not wide enough, right away: the shoelaces are too short for a wide shoe.  I can barely tie a bow with the laces.  I need longer shoelaces. I need wider shoes with appropriate shoelaces.

I have a high instep and need a very wide shoe.  I love Brooks Ariel, but the new ones are a funny color, and I don't know if they would be the same shoe.  I hope I am not sorry I bought a shoe without trying it first.  The shoes had the build I need, since my feet tend to pronate.  I need that inside arch to keep my feet stable.

I may come back and add to my review after our Disney trip with these shoes. Five miles of walking in a day is the best barometer for a shoe.
