I ordered this in black in a medium. I normally wear Wide, but the medium fits me well. I've worn this shoe twice now for several hours and it's very comfortable. The cushioning is good. The second time I wore them the band across the toes did start to rub against my toes when we were walking for a few blocks. I'm not sure I'd recommend them for touring, but they were fine for wearing to a party. My husband thinks they're sexy, sort of Roman sandal-looking, and wants me to order them in other colors. I'd say that's a selling point, when your husband wants you to spend more money on shoes!
