Was really shocked when this shoe arrived and could not get it on. Rechecked the size. Yes, medium width, correct size. Measured sole and upper. The sole is the same as my other medium width shoes, at the widest point, but narrower along the rest of the length and most of all, the upper was an inch and a half narrower at the wide part of the foot. Have since been able to stretch it out enough to wear it for brief periods. It will be a good shoe if it can stretch a bit more in the toes. The design is otherwise good, attractive and well made. Loved the fact that the sole was thicker than similar shoes and has a little tread. (Could still use a little more tread.)
