I pronate, I have a wide forefoot and a narrow heel.  I walk, I don't run.  These shoes are a godsend. My back doesn't hurt, my heels don't hurt, my knees don't hurt.  They keep me in alignment.  Yes, they are a little orthotic looking, but if you pronate you have no choice.  The tongue is a little hard to smooth down, you have to run your fingers over it each time you lace up.  I'll take that for the comfort that I have in these.  I wear a regular width in these, by the way, where I normally wear a D.  I was fitted by a professional, so I know that it's the correct width.
