I have a medium to narrow foot, but wear mediums almost exclusively. I bought this boot due to its classic look and good price. I was concerned about the difficulty some other reviewers had with slipping it on and with having the elastic dig in, but this hasn't been my experience. The boot fits me true to size and while the elastic is strong, I got them on in a single try. The elastic provides additional support for my ankles, which are of average strength and size. I like this boot so much for everyday, I've ordered an additional pair for later in case it disappears. My favorite MBT!
