text: I needed a new pair of shoes for outdoor tennis play and needed wide because I have nerve damage in one foot and wide widths free the foot so the nerve doesn't get compressed as much.  These shoes seem to have very little cushioning and are also very stiff.  I tried putting a foam insert in but it didn't help much.  Now I'll wind up wearing them to do outside yard work and will need to buy another pair of shoes for tennis play.
