Late last year I was diagnosed with a severely strained tendon on my right foot. My podiatrist made me a custom orthodic that was suppose to rectify the problem. Well this orthodic is crazy wide. My foot is a little wide as is, but this orthodic was ridiculous. So being the good patient I am, I committed to trying them out for a few months. My regular Merrells were going to be too small, so I moved up a half size and the Keen Voyageur fit like a glove. It was wide were it needed to be and very comfortable. I have worn this as an every day shoe as well as hiking and I have been very pleased. It is a very supportive shoe with great traction. They finally got worn down so I recently have switched to the Merrell Moab Ventilator in a wide width. I will let you know how that goes.
