I have been searching for shoes that actually fit for the last 2 years. I'm 58 and had been a size 10 since my college days. So imagine my surprise when I would order my usual size and they were all too small to the point where I couldn't even get my foot in.To make matters worse, I also have developed edema in both feet which hasn't helped and I have a high in-step so even if shoes were long enough or wide enough, they were too tight across the top of the foot.I tried everything... going to a wide... going up a size; going to wide; going to a 11-wide... but nothing seemed to work well -- particularly since those sizes are SOOOO hard to find. I had resigned myself to having to start wearing old lady type diabetic shoes when I decided to give these a try.SUCCESS! They fit PERFECTLY!!! If anything, a size 10 is almost a little long -- especially for my right foot which is shorter than my left. I can get them on without a shoe horn and an aerobic workout. AND they look and feel like normal shoes. I feel like I have a new lease on life because if you can't get shoes on easily, you are not really wanting to leave the house. If you don't leave the house, well, you lose mobility... FAST! (If the pandemic has taught me anything, it has taught me that!)They are comfortable. They are a nice casual looking shoe. They have a good base so that my ankle isn't going to turn one way or the there. They aren't too tight and there is plenty of room for my toes to move around. I will say that my feet are sweating a little wearing them so they may not be the most breathable. I'm not wearing any socks but there is plenty of room should I want to add those. In addition, my feet aren't at the most swollen but again, there is room so that if my feet do get more puffy, I can still put these on.I'm sooooo happy to have found these! I feel like ordering 10 more pairs![LCAR]
