I'm not a huge fan of the pointy toe look, but I needed strappy, closed-toe shoes in 8.5WW and my selection was very limited. These shoes fit well and are comfortable. I have wide feet, but not "chubby" feet. A lot of wide shoes with straps seem to cater to the "chubby" foot and the straps are way too high off the shoe bed. I didn't have that problem with these straps- they fit well.
