I have very wide feet and very high arches - need orthotics in all shoes, except Crocs. I've been ordering several pairs of boots and had to return them all. I ordered these in 7-1/2EE and just received them. I took out the insole, put in my orthotic and put the insole back on top. Then slipped my foot in.....voila! Can't believe it. The squarish toe allows for more toe room but still looks great. The dark brown is almost black, which I like. The sole and heel are non-slip. They look GREAT with pants. I can't say enough how happy I am that I can finally wear a stylish pair of boots like other women, instead of flat lunch-lady ortho shoes.
