I need wide shoes and have trouble finding them in stores or even at outlet centers. I like that I am able to get my size in a wide shoe on line. I read reviews on Asics and decided to try a pair. I ordered an 8.5 in double E and when I tried them on they felt a little tight. Fortunately AMAZON has great return policy and procedure and was able to get a quick turn around. I ended up ordering a size 9 which is a half size bigger than I normally buy which makes me think Asics run a little smaller and I also went with a 4E which should be wider than I need but the fit is perfect!  Very comfy, light weight, soft and flexible. I am totally pleased with my purchase.
