I was fit with this shoe years ago & found out for the first time in my life that I needed a "wide" width.  It has made such a difference in my comfort.  I still have that pair & they've not worn out after all these years.  I bought my 2nd pair from Amazon & they are just like the original purchase...so comfortable & sturdy.  I'm a nurse so it is a valuable essential to have comfortable shoes at all times.  Highly recommend for anyone who is on their feet extended periods of time!!
