This really is a comfort shoe and really is in disguise! I got so many compliments and danced away in them (helpfully they also feature a suede sole). My foot is an 8 narrow and I have high arches. The length is perfect, but this are very wide, extra deep, and with only moderate arch support--but cushy! What's great is there is so much room to add your own inserts which I know is hard to find. After trying some combos of inserts from my collection, they were even more comfortable and did not look too deep and wide. These do not look cheap at all, BTW.
