At least, in my case it was. When I saw 'XW - Medium', as the shoe size, I expected a '2D' or possibly an 'E', but never in my wildest dreams did I expect to receive a '3E' !!!
I had a quarter inch clearance on each side! My feet are wide, but these are way out of my league! The ad on these is a little tricky. I gave them 3 stars because of construction and appearance. They are a sturdy shoe suitable for walking, except in my case, even with the wider width, the high side cut into my ankle. A bit uncomfortable. These are 'extra wide' alright, but 'True Fit' is out the window!
