These shoes are perfect for me.  I have very hard to fit feet. They are very wide and I have a difficult time finding shoes that are comfortable.  I saw these shoes in a local shop and thought I would look on Amazon, where I found them at about half the price and took a chance and ordered them.  I adore these shoes. They are funky and soooooo comfortable with no break-in.  I ordered another pair right away and am considering purchasing more.  These shoes have an incredibly cushioned footbed with great arch support.  The flat soles provide great stability for me which is important commuting on a train to work.  These shoes are unusual looking but I like the style and am a fan!
