text: Love love love the style but as has already been noted they are narrow even though I ordered a wide size At first I could barely get them on. Determinedly and since I did not wish to return them I have been wearing them to stretch them out even though painful; one foot more so. The synthetic material does not stretch much but just enough to wear them but these shoes will be for occasional use only, I am afraid although wearable in my mostly sedentary work environment. Update: I am stretching them using an old fashioned shoe stretcher; maybe it will help!
