I am still breaking these shoes in but I have been wearing them for about a week and they have stretched to a comfortable place. It took a couple days for the leather to stretch. I was concerned after the first day that I would need to send them back for a wider size but now they are comfortable like all my other Clarks shoes. The one thing that I didn't realize when I purchased these shoes is the strap doesn't velcro so you can't change the tightness of the strap. My previous Clarks shoes had a velcro strap that was adjustable.
