I did some extensive research prior to buying this shoe. I have to buy a wide width and most of the brands do not carry these type of shoes in a wide. I looked at the reviews on this model, some of which had issues with the "extra wide" not being sufficient. I purchased these in the extra wide anyway, hoping that the width would not be an issue. And I am extremely pleased with the result. While I am not a trail runner, I am a soccer official and put a good bit of wear and tear on my shoes in all kids of weather and on a wide variety of surfaces. These are by far the most comfortable shoes I have owned. They are plenty wide, have a nice tread surface that provide great traction on wet and uneven surfaces. They look great for everyday use, they are a nice solid shoe for walking trails and perform flawlessly for my soccer matches. Absolutely love these, the size and width were spot on. Do not hesitate to consider these for a good all around shoe, and a solid performer as a trail and outdoor shoe.
