I typically wear a size 8-1/2 wide and bought these in a 9 and 9-1/2, hoping that they would make up for my wide feet.  Unfortunately, I had to return both of them.  Beautiful sandal, but not for wide feet.  I got the silver and it was really nice, like a distressed pewter and very soft leather.  I don't understand why designers only cater to medium widths when there are millions of women who would like to have nice shoes/sandals available.  Very disappointing.  Only 3 stars for you, Rockport, until you start fitting real women.
