i have pretty wide feet, non-wide shoes make me stomp my own pinky toes by folding them under my foot, resulting in them being pretty much unbearable to wear even just to sit in. i’m a 8-8.5 in women’s typically, but i got a 9 to be sure i’d have foot space, and these fit AMAZING! absolutely NO padding on the bottom of them though, so some soft insoles are a must if you actually plan to walk for more than 6 seconds. wide calf maybe not so much though, i consider myself someone with medium thighs and it’s a LOT of effort to zip them over anything thicker than leggings. they’re very beautiful though, and for someone who never wears heels, they’re very comfortable! i can even RUN in them just fine! i’ve had them 8 months and only worn them a handful of times though, so i can’t really speak on durability. they seem pretty good just from feeling them on, though!
