I have a wide foot, with a very narrow heel. Wore Rykas for years, but they've changed their shoes, so I'm now hunting (unsuccessfully) to find something to replace them. I was very disappointed that this shoe was not a good fit for me. It is extremely well made and there wasn't anything I didn't like about it. Unfortunately, it was too wide in the heel and it slid up and down on my foot. If you have a "normal" foot, this would be a great shoe.
