Read the reviews first before buying. Most recommended buying a 1/2 size smaller. Definitely buy a 1/2 size smaller. The wide width shoe has a lot of room and the cushion in the footbed is very nice. I used to wear 8 1/2 but as age has come upon me, I have been buying a 9. With these, I went ahead and order the 8 1/2 and they fit perfectly. Will definitely go for a Clarks shoe in the future!
