Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I had purchased this shoe at a local store and wore them all the time. They were so comfortable and easy to slip on and off, but stayed put even on long walks up and down hills. Last summer I got deck paint on them and didn't feel they should be worn out in public :( I was very happy to see that Amazon carried these shows, but when they arrived I found that they were way to narrow for my foot. I checked my other shoes and they were the same size and width. Perhaps Easy Spirit manufactures these shoes a bit different today then they did a year ago. I was going to return them and purchase a wider width, but discovered that a wider width was almost double the cost. Hey - what's going on here Easy Spirit?
