"I purchased a version of this shoe last year with the identical foot bed (I compared with last year's shoe). This shoe is wonderfully cushioned...far more than last years version with the center zipper. I think this added feature accounts for the narrower fit. I purchased this shoe in black and blue and will return both. I have already reordered the same two shoes in a wide width. . The quality of the shoe is excellent and the colors on the suede give the boot a vibrant rich fresh look. .A definite upgrade in quality and appearance to last years nubuck. I am looking forward to my wider pair!!! I gave 4 stars because of the narrow fit, I normally wear medium even with an unsightly bunion on my left foot. If you have a slightly narrower foot the medium is a definite 5 star!!"
