When Skechers say "wide shoe," the mean it. Anyway only buy it if you need it not if you just want it. This series is very good! Very happy with this purchase! I dont think these will ever be abused, so they should last quite a while. I returned it promptly and ordered on a few dollars more that appears, by photos to be a bit sturdier. This time I was (pleasantly) surprised that there was a slight sparkle to the sandal material (my original color was sold out so I went with this one). I just returned from Verizon wireless store. I havent yet decided if I want to keep it for thay purpose or if I want to return them. That being said all BDU duty pants fade.
