text: These are the wife’s comments on the shoes. She normally wears size 7 shoe and these fit her well. The foot padding is very comfortable with a nice thick pad and the leather straps are soft and good quality. The ankle straps are adjustable with the buckle that has enough holes for multiples adjustments. The back of the shoe has a zipper that opens up for even wider feet. The sole of the shoes has good traction on the bottom and are glued together well. These seem to be well made with no major flaws in how these are put together. The wide heel is very comfortable and make these nice wearing for all day long use. These are a comfortable nice quality shoe. We will update our review with any long term durability and any long term comfort issues and was happy with these shoes.<br /><br />Update: August 2015: Originally wife was happy with these shoes until they started coming apart and fraying on the leather portion of the shoe.  The leather pieces are coming apart as well.  The shoes were worn 3 times a week on average for the last 6 weeks. The quality appears to be poor (considering the price) with these shoes and I am now updating my review to reflect the poor quality to 1 star.  New pictures (3, 4, ) reflect what the problems are with the shoes.<br /><br />1 star<br /><br />I was provided a sample in exchange for honest review.
