I open with a caveat - I had once owned a pair before, and had worn them out.  But those were fitted by a foot specialist.  I purchased this pair, same shoe, same size, but the newer model #, and sight unseen.  The results:  Magnificent.  I am diabetic.  I have extrememely wide feet.  These shoes fit perfectly, accept my orthotics, and wearning them is like walking on a cloud.
