I normally wear a med. width unless the shoe has a high instep like this style,in which case I will buy a wide.  I was so disappointed when I received these yesterday.  They are not what I would consider a wide at all.  They were tight like a med. usually is on me with this stye. I have never worn LifeStride shoes before so maybe this is how they run but if your foot is a true wide...this style may not work for you.  I am going to send them back and keep looking.
