I purchased these shoes to replace a pair of circa 1999, extra-wide Sperry Billfishers that I had completely worn out.  I loved those shoes and would have bought Sperrys again, but they no longer make the model I had in extra wide (or wide) sizes. Though these shoes have a different sort of appearance than my old Sperrys (I was concerned about the colored flags on the top of the tongue, but now actually kind of like them), they turned out to be an excellent replacement.  They are well made, well-priced on Amazon, extra-wide as advertised, and extremely comfortable.  In fact, they are so good that I am getting ready to order a second pair while they're still available.  Highly recommended.
