It has been nearly impossible for most of my adult life to find anything that comes close to a comfortable dress shoe. Stores never carry wide widths, and ordering online can be a headache having to constantly return and reorder. I figured I would have to go through the old routine as usual of getting the size wrong, or it not being wide enough or being too ugly or whatever. I am shocked that they are not only wide enough, but are also true to size. They have a nice short heel, which will be fine for the few hours I will have them on. The only reason I deducted a star is because there is no traction at all on the soles, they are completely smooth. Be sure to rough them up before wearing them out.
