As a more heafty sized woman, my feet aren?t narrow and light like other women?s feet. They arent that great to walk a long distance in, not to say much of running or hiking. These are soft and feel very good on tired feet. However, these lights were more than enough for my rides that started early (before dawn), or my rides that went late (at dusk), and a few very foggy days. As such it must be the exemplar of an immersive novel experience. Drop a few extra dollars. I live in New York City, I LOVE living here, everyday is an adventure, but the roads suck and you have to deal with it. I dont think it will stretch out. I would not recommend these sandals for somebody with wide feet because of the long, slim style & snug fit of the straps. We have snow today, and having these to take the dogs outside was the reason for buying them.
