this is my 4th pair of these sneakers, I keep trying other brands and then returning them, coming back to these. I LOVE the fact that these come in wide width! plus, they fit like a TRUE wide width shoe should fit. I could probably go with a 9W, but I get the 9.5W so that they're still roomy even when my feet swell a bit in the humidity in the summertime. I have plantar fasciitis and a heel spur, and find these to be THE most comfortable sneakers for walking, and for pain-free standing for long periods of time. the toe-box is roomy to begin with, and between the wide width and flexible weave of the upper, my toes have plenty of "wiggle room," which I love. these are a great shoe for the $, and a STEAL if you can find them for under $50 on Amazon. sometimes I can, sometimes not for that price in the color I want, but even for $65-$70, they're well worth it. style-wise, they're pretty plain, meaning they work with any casual outfit, and go nicely with jeans, sweats, leggings or yoga pants. they're super comfortable without looking like "comfort shoes" (ie. orthopedic/nurse's shoes). the arch support is only average, nothing to write home about, and the memory foam footbed, while dreamy to walk on, probably also takes away from some of the arch support they do have. that happens to be 1 foot issue I DON'T have, thank goodness, so the fact that these are a bit lacking in that category isn't an issue for me. if it is for you, these probably aren't for you (try NB, tons of arch support and comes in wide widths). shipping was super-fast, and they arrived brand new in the box with all the original tags and packing. for me, these are as close to perfect a sneaker as I've found so far, and I highly recommend them.
