“good quality shoe for price”

“Caveat: I have a very wide foot and rarely find shoes that fit. I am a "true" 5E, but even Dunham's 6E isn't wide enough. Like many mass-produced shoemakers, they "widen" their shoes by adding extra material to the uppers to compensate for the industry standard "widest" last (3E/4E) -- a common problem I see with the New Balance SL-2 lasts. I'm assuming these are SL-2. I compromised with these shoes and took the widest they offer and then "broke" the shoe until the uppers stretched out... the last is still narrow -for me- and the box isn't wide enough. The leather uppers help in "molding" the shoe to fit. Got them wet to shape more to my foot....visual: my feet "roll" over the sides of the last... still, a very sporty shoe! good sale price recommended with reservations: people with very WIDE feet use caution”
