My son wears a 12 EE and has a thick in-step.  He's 24 yrs. old and wears these with everything.  This is his second pair of the Rockport Northfield Oxfords and he's very happy them. His first pair he wore the soles down to no tread. He's on his feet for long periods of time and says these are the most comfortable shoe he owns, even compared to his sneakers.  It's hard to find a shoe that both fits him comfortably and suits his taste.
