This was a gift for a senior in an assisted living type of environment whose feet swell occasionally to the point where her former shoes did not fit at all some days.  I chose these over the Hush Puppy wide-width shoes because these were a little cheaper.  Also, many of her neighbors in the facility with the same problem have identical types of shoe (Hush Puppies) and getting a different brand makes it less likely her new shoes might get mixed up with someone else's and become lost.

These are great shoes for her.  The shoes are well made and she says they are very comfortable.  The velcro closure makes it quick and easy for the shoes to go on and come off.  The only drawback is she initially seemed to get a little confused about the "criss-cross" style of the two velcro closures, but that has not really posed much of a problem even though she suffers from dementia.  She likes to dress nicely and these shoes look kind of dressy.  The shoes took longer to arrive than I preferred but at least they arrived in time to be a holiday gift.
