text: I looked high and low for a size 9 2E width because the 9 D's I purchased a little while back just weren't quite wide enough.  Finally found them, but . . . , this particular pair appear to be very cheaply made (very much unlike the first ones that I had to return which were great except for the width issue!).  The interior stitching around the tongue is too bulky and bunches up against the top of my foot; it doesn't seem like it would take long to develop a blister there even with socks on.  Also, the shoe strings &#34;tore apart&#34; the first time I re-laced the shoes more to my liking.  On the plus side, the cushioning is great.
