I jumped on the idea of shoes being affordable, and bought the cheapest ones that could fit. (I currently wear a size 17, extra wide.) I immediately regretted my impulse purchase upon reading the reviews. Naturally I worried that my shoes would arrive and be the wrong size or poorly made. This was not the case. Do not refrain from buying from Basso. I ordered my shoes on a Saturday, and they came on Wednesday. I am very pleased with this Basso!
