I'm posting this for those ladies who have wide feet.  I LOVE Danskos and went to shop for some today.  This pump / boot comes in both a black & a brown color and is actually more adorable in 'person'.  The heel is a smidge higher than most Dansko shoes I've had (clogs) but I was thrilled because with my bunions, wide to xwide feet and high arches, there aren't many heels that I have the option of wearing with out later feeling like I've been hobbled and wanting to crawl on my knees later at home.

So I eagerly tried these on only to be disappointed that it runs a bit more narrow than most of Dansko's shoes.  Although I COULD get my feet in, it was VERY TIGHT in both the width in the ball region of the foot AND also in the heel which was surprising to me...shoes are generally only narrow in the ball region for me and not the heel.  Since I was able to get my foot in this heel, I'd say it's too wide for those with narrow feet as I'm CLEARLY a wide to an Extra Wide 8.5 - 9.0 depending on the shoe and the brand.  The salesperson also told me that this shoe does run narrow than other Danko's.

I wish that Dansko would actually come out with varying widths and make note of them since their shoe widths does seem to vary.  However, despite that, I LOVE THEIR SHOES!!!! They are SOOOO comfortable!!! I generally only buy 1 or 2 per year and wear them daily so by the end of the year they are ragged out...this year, I plan to buy several pairs so that I can hopefully make each shoe last a bit longer since each one won't get as much wear and tear on them.  As I buy more, I'll be posting feedback on them so check out my other reviews in months to come on women's shoes.:-)

Another brand that is great for wide feet needing more arch support is the Finn Comfort brand.  The shoe BED portion is not as 'cushiony' as Dansko but honestly when you wear them, they've got such an awesome high arch support that you get used to it and it's comfortable too.  Another benefit of the Finn Comfort brand is that you can have the shoe bed BUILT UP to be custom fit to your feet if need be.

I went to try some on so that I can know my shoe size, bought a couple pairs from the store I tried them on at then I will buy more shoes I like from Amazon since their prices are MUCH better!!!  I have to toss some thanks to the shoe store I bought them from since they were quite helpful in teaching me what sort of shoes / brands to look for for my foot issues.  I will always buy a pair or two from them per year for the knowledge & guidance in what to look for but then will turn to Amazon to buy more colors if I really love the shoe or more styles due to pricing.
