That's different from other folks with "regular" feet. The bones below my toes are exceptionally wide and yet I have a very narrow heel so many shoes just don't fit me well at all. If I get the toe box area wide enough to accommodate my foot, then the heel area is too wide. I usually use those sticky pads in the heel area to make it snug on my heel. Otherwise I walk out of the shoe. This pair, because they go above my ankle, bypasses the too wide of a heel section. I put on a pair of medium socks (not too thin or too thick), loosened the laces and did have a tiny bit of trouble getting my entire foot in the shoe, but once I did, I laced the shoes up medium-tight and walked around. Usually with shoes I have an initial bit of discomfort - the tops or the soles are stiff or my big toe hits an odd spot inside the shoe or whatever. Not so with these shoes! Aside from listening to a bit of interesting creaking/squeaking from the tops of the shoes when I took a step, the toe box area seemed wider than average shoes and my foot felt very comfortable in the area with no squeezing or discomfort in any way. My heels did not seem to slip around inside the shoes at all, maybe because these shoes hold the ankle fairly still. The leather seems to be of high quality - it has that good smell of quality leather and while leather itself doesn't breathe, the ventilation holes on the top of the toe box and around the ankle area seem to be able to keep the foot cool. I wanted this pair because my left ankle often tries to give way on me due to an old injury. I had a tendon tear so badly several years ago that when it tore, it make a loud crack sound that made me believe I'd broken something. It took over 12 weeks just to be able to put weight on that foot again. Tendons never completely heal so when the weather changes or I do too much walking in flip-flops, that tendon starts giving way and is very painful. These shoes that go over the ankle should help keep the tendon from giving way and/or causing me discomfort. Nice pair of shoes that I will get a great deal of use out of!

Mr friend has a foot problem, these are the only shoes he can wear, and this is the only place to find them in his wide size and preferred color. Scholl's quality is important b/c the way he walks wears one shoe down more quickly than the other, and Scholl's last longer than brands of lesser quality so he gets the longest life out of these.
