I bought these shoes 3 1/2 years ago at a local store, they were tight at first but I have wide feet, but they broke in quickly.  For the last 2 years they were almost exclusively the only shoes I wore and perfect when I was pregnant, I could just slip them on, no bending over required and my feet were comfortable all day!!! There is enough of a heal to keep you up and out of the rain or little bit of snow.  After 3 years they were starting to wear out and the horseshoe on the sole had finally come off but I know they would have lasted longer if my dog didn't get a hold of them.  I would recommend them to anyone!!!
