Purchased for a trip to Disneyland...these seemed to have the most positive recommendation among people who are on their feet all day.  They are extremely comfortable, but I did need to break them in for a week or two due to them being tight on top of my foot (I have high arches / high instep).  Others I've since talked to seemed to have the same issue.  I also have wide feet, but the width on these (not an official wide) is fine.  Tried on they same style (just not patent leather) in a wide width at a shoe store.  Those didn't really feel much different than these in width or toe room. I'm a 6.5 Wide...initially purchased a 38, which was too small, but the 39 is perfect.  Would definitely recommend these to others.  Overall style and the patent leather are cute in a 'hip mom' sort of way. My teenager wouldn't be caught dead in them...but she still is concerned what everybody is thinking.  I have finally matured to the age of knowing what really matters.
