Initially when I received them, I was disappointed because they didn't look wide width to me. I decided I would have to wear them on the weekends to break them in so they'd be good and comfortable for my upcoming cruise. Well, I wore them while out and about all day today and they were great. I don't have any rub spots on the back of my heels and my feet aren't hurting. They are true to size and just as good as they were when I wore them as a teenager.
