The "wide" version basically allocates more real estate in the upper, making the leather upper able to expand further, thereby accommodating a wider foot. Im too lazy to return them so I will keep them around for house guests. My original one messed up. Style is nice. This was my first experience with Mae and I wanted to like this so bad! It barely buckled up around the heel. Pairing was simple and the battery lasted wrong. Went two months before I noticed and company refuses to replace. On the the product description it said . 0Sound is pretty decent for $30 wireless BTCons:Hard to keep them inWill fall out if eating/moving/working outNot a big gripe or anything, but includes the USB to MicroUSB cable, but no charger.
