"My wife purchased these shoes for me for Christmas, and since we were doing a road trip she gave them to me a week early. I loved them from day one. They broke in very quickly and developed a bit of a weathered look, which I really like! They do run long I normally wear a 10/10.5 and the 9.5 fit me well. I would say they run fairly normal on width if anything maybe just a smidge wider then average. If you have a really high arch you might want to walk around a bit in the store before making your final decision. All I know is I really want the black ones now also!"
