I have to go along with many of the other reviews of this shoe.  It feels really great.  I want to wear it on an upcoming trip to Europe (have an arthritic knee and am willing to spend big bucks for a really good shoe).  Since I haven't gone yet, I will have to update this review after the trip.  I have a narrow heel and a B width.  This shoe works perfectly for me in a 9 (normally wear an 8-1/2).  The black grain is more attractive than the black nubuck in this shoe IMO.

Update 1/7/13: GREAT SHOE FOR MY ARTHRITIC KNEE.  I have now been wearing this shoe for walks several times a week since November.  This is the only shoe I have found in a year of having pain in my left knee that actually makes my knee feel better after walking, not just less bad.  I have tried all kinds of shoes, trust me.  This shoe was definitely worth the money.  It does run on the narrow side I think, which is perfect for my foot. Probably only down side is that they are rather heavy, but maybe that's why they are so stable and supportive.  You'll want to wear them on the plane instead of packing in your luggage.
