I bought a Drew shoe last year and returned it as it was so stiff.  I guess I forgot.  However, the price on this barefoot shoe was so good I decided to give it another try.  I have a short, wide foot.  I ordered 6W.  The shoe is perfect length, but a bit wide.  It is very stiff, even the shoelaces were stiff, a double knot does not stay tied for long.  But I thought I would wear them for a day to see how fast I would get a blister.  Surprise!  As stiff as the shoe is, I have not gotten any blisters, can wear it all day and my feet feel fine.  So I would recommend buying it if you don't mind the 'old lady' look.
