I am downgrading my rating because this shoe did not fit as well as I expected it to.  I have been wearing size 8 wide comfortably for a long time.  These shoes are so wide that even my wide feet cannot keep them from slipping up and down, particularly at the heel.  Also, I thought these shoes would have a non-slip sole.  The very light embossed tred is not enough to make them non-slip.  Another point is that I feel it would have been better to have leather at least at the shoe tip.  I really should have sent them back.
