text: I'm a size 9 (occasionally a half-size down or up) over-pronator with a wide forefoot and an average heel, so I look for stability, motion control, and arch support in a running shoe in a wide size (D).  I've had good experiences with some men's Asics in a medium width, but I liked the looks of this women's shoe so much that I decided to try it.  I do love the looks, but alas, the D size isn't a true wide, which I can usually wear:  while the size-9 length of these fits me well, both the toe box and midsection are so narrow that the shoe is too snug even with thin socks.  They are extremely breathable because they're mesh, but because of that I'm not sure they'd stretch enough even with a professional stretcher to be wearable with crew socks, and they'd be quite uncomfortable to work out in.  Correction:  I got these in a size 9.5.  So even though I'm normally a size 9, that would be way too tight in this shoe.  Also, perhaps because they're all-mesh, they don't offer as much stability and cushioning as most of the Asics I've had, which is surprising, considering that on another website the manufacturers says they're &#34;Built for mild to moderate overpronator who requires a blend of enhanced cushioning and stability.&#34;  I didn't notice either one.  I would have loved to be able to keep these shoes, but I'll have to return them and either go back to wearing men's sneakers or find something in a true wide.  PROS: Beautiful shoe, good price, looks great if you can wear it. CONS:  Not a true wide even if labeled &#34;D&#34;; less cushioning and compensation for pronation than some descriptions indicate.
