I have bought these 3 times now and have tried others in between. Best shoes I have ever owned! The toe bed is wide that's great if you have bunions. The size is perfect, and there is plenty of room for my orthotics without removing the inserts. Before my feet hurt so bad by the end of an 8 hour standing shift I could barely make it to the car. With them I could go another 2-3 hours if I have to (knock on wood that I never do) I hope they never stop making these paticular shoes.

I have mixed-last feet that are very wide in the front only. According to the company's Web site, the extra wide is a WW - WWW, so I decided to try both a wide, supposedly D/E, and extra wide.

For the extra wide to fit correctly with my orthodics, I needed to take out BOTH insoles and change the lacing to bypass the lowest hole. Taking out the "mosaic" inner sole is a pain - the little pieces along the edges come off as you try to get a grasp on it - you'd think they'd design something you could grab onto, at least initially. I don't think it would survive being taken in and out multiple times for adjustment.

I can feel cushioning from the mosaic innersole - but it makes the shoe too tight - and I'm not sure how much good the mosaic would do if you could get it right. Maybe this would work if you're at a specialist who has a machine that can translate how you walk onto the mosaic and if you don't need the extra width.

I am probably going to keep them because they have a fairly straight last, don't seem to have an excessive rollbar correction - and because I'm desperate for a pair of shoes I can wear. I don't think they're worth the price premium.
