I have a hard time finding shoes that fit me well, I'm a half inch short on one foot (just found this out after about 35 years lol).  I need an extra wide as well, and as the shoe industry keeps consolidating, I find it harder to find affordable footwear.  So I've resigned myself to the fact that I need to start spending the extra bucks to find a comfortable shoe to wear all day for work, and this one has finally fit the bill.  I was a big fan of Florsheim for awhile, but the last pair I bought of them started rubbing me raw, something in their manufacturing process seems to have changed up.  The deerskin is holding up well, this really is a well built shoe.  I found it in person but they did not have my half size, so I got lucky drumming it up on Amazon, and at a cost savings to  boot.
