I wear a size 11 shoe with a 6E width, which is the widest size they make. That means I have a very difficult time finding shoes that fit. New Balance shoes will fit depending on the size of the toe box, but dress and casual shoes have always been a nightmare for me. Usually, I have to go online and find something from a specialty site, or I can purchase regular shoes and take my chances, but that usually leads to me returning most of them.I purchased these when I noticed a friend who also has the same problem wearing them. These are the first shoes that are not labeled a 6E that I have been able to wear in a long time. Because of the material they have a lot of give. They are a little shiny (not sure why) and can get dirty easily and they need more arch support, but because they are so comfortable I have found myself wearing them more than any other shoe I own. I even wear them with dress clothes even though they are meant for casual wear with jeans or khaki's, but I have decided I would rather wear something that may not look the best with dress clothes then force myself into a nice pair of leather dress shoes that leave my feet aching at the end of the day. All in all, I love these shoes.
