I was looking for a cute but comfortable walking shoe for a trip to Disneyland.  I was intrigued by these shoes  because of many positive reviews and the fact they come in a wide width.  The wide did not seem wide at all, however.  And, as mentioned by a previous reviewer, the banding around the top edge seems to dig into the foot.  Sent them back.  That said, they seem to be a well made shoe and are attractive (in a grown-up sort of way, not a teenager sort of way).
