These are the best. The size is on target and true, the width is great and the toe box is right. There are so many wides are too wide. I highly recommend these for a casual, somewhat dressy shoe that feels very comfortable all day.

Comfy, comfy, comfy. I have high arches, a wide front foot, a bunion & narrow back foot. I am very pleased w/ this shoe. Practical & stylish. I can’t wait to try more from this company.

These shoes are wonderful. I wanted something comfortable and stylish for a trip to New York where I\'d be walking quite a bit. I received them a week before the trip and they fit, were wonderful from minute one, and it was as if I didn\'t even know I was wearing shoes while I was busy walking the streets of New York. They are the most comfortable shoes I\'ve ever owned. I love them. They aren\'t the most stylish, although they\'re not bad, but the comfort far surpasses any vanity issues I have. I\'d highly recommend these and hope they never stop making them because I plan to get another pair when I can afford them.

Review of P.W. Minor's Park Avenue Size 13 - Very comfortable supportive shoe. Although a little roomy, I'm glad they came with inserts or I would've had to send them back. With the inserts there still is a lot of toe room but that’s OK since I got them for walking and exercise.

Dislike the Velcro strap - I have a very wide foot and am in the midst of trying to figure out which P.W. Minor shoe might be right for me. The Park Avenue is clunkier than some of the others and has a wider heel. I also didn't like the fact that the buckle is not usable and hides a velcro strap. I realize this might be a plus for some. At this point I prefer the Bella.

Style has found comfort - My feet are deformed from rheumatoid arthritis, and it's almost impossible to find stylish, yet comfortable, shoes. While they aren't as comfortable as my SAS everyday sneakers, they're the best little dressier shoe I've found.

Comfortable shoe, a rare find for me - I love these shoes! They are wide enough across the toe box, are comfortable for long walks on the first wearing, and are cute! I needed the included extra liner, without it they were too loose, but with it they are perfect.

My feet are hard to fit: I have thick custom orthotics, a bunion, and very narrow heels. I usually wear a 9M or 9.5M. I ordered these in a 9.5, but they were too small. A 10 might work, but I found a different style that fits, so I'm just sending these back.

I have fibromyalgia, so my feet change size all day, everyday due to swelling, etc. This shoe is comfortable. Roomy and that helped with the swelling. Looks great with slacks for the office. The buckle is actually velcro, so that is a bonus!

No velcro please - This would be a fantastic shoe were it not for the velcro closure on the strap. It becomes loose without much pressure. I will probably sew the strap down. This shoe is well made, comfortable all day, and will accommodate an orthotic and my bunion! Maybe they will come out with an authentic buckle on the strap... then I would buy it again.

P.W. Minor's Park Avenue - They felt at least a 1/2 size larger than marked. Arch support was good. They appeared to be well constructed, except that the Velcro didn't seem to line up quite right. I didn't think they looked as cute as in the picture, either. That often happens, though because I wear such a large size. I sent them back.

This shoe has plenty of room for orthotics and toe wiggle room. I wear a size women's 12M and I have an arthritic foot. I stand up for much of my work day and these shoes work well. They aren't as cushy as I would like, but they are cute. Oh, and Zappos is the best shoe retailer, been with them for years now!

For me, they did not have the same good fit and support as the Drew Bloom II. I sent them back.

As with any solid new leather shoe, this needs breaking in. Once you've worn it and it shapes to your feet, you'll enjoy these with skirts, slacks, or even jeans!

That darned velcro strap. The build of the shoe is such that it won't stay on your foot without the strap. The buckle is just decorative. The strap really holds together with a small piece of velcro that is wholly inadequate. At first the velcro pulls loose and you can reattach it. Over time the fuzzy side of the velcro wears out and the strap ends up flapping around unattached. Then it sounds like you're wearing flip flops because the heel comes on and off your foot with every step.

Nice shoe, very well made. It is deep enough for an orthotic. The problem is that the strap is not long enough for the Velcro. The other reviews that I read about this shoe said the same thing. It is annoying to have to fix the strap when you are walking because it gets loose.

These shoes are wide enough for my feet, but the size that I normally get is too big on me. I haven't figured out what to do yet, if I'm going to get a half size down or just give up on them.

Nice but BIG! This is a well-made shoe with a substantial sturdy sole, but it has a wide heal and runs long and wide. I tried an 8.5 medium; I tried PW Minor before and I knew it was roomy. I was tempted to reorder in size 8 because the 8.5 fit like a size 9. My orthotics fit this shoe in the medium width. Generally, I need a wide for my orthotics. I do not have a wide foot, but I do need a roomy toe box and there is plenty in these shoes for your toes (bunions). Also, the strap has a velcro attachment; the buckle is decorative. I prefer a real buckle; when the strap stretches, the buckle allows for a tighter adjustment. So, that was a disappointment, too. I returned these because the heel, even in a smaller size, would have been too wide for me.

These are comfortable enough and the insoles are great but they are definitely not slip resistant. Treacherous on wet kitchen floors!

This would be a great shoe for me since it is comfortable and the orthotics fit. I, too, wish it had a buckle instead of Velcro or at least a wider strip of Velcro. I ordered the 7 because that the closest choice and in some shoes I wear a 7. Returning the shoes to get a 7½ whenever Zappos gets more.

I have worn these shoes since 2008. They fit with my orthotics and I have walked miles in these shoes. They aren't exactly beautiful but with jeans or tights they are certainly functional. They fit right out of the box. These are my shoes of choice for traveling and shopping. They do fine in wet weather.

I have been cursed with very wide feet, and for a woman it isn't easy to find shoes that fit. That is, until I found Zappos.com. They have all kinds of dress shoes in 4E sizes. For my first order I chose the P.W. Minor Park Avenue shoe because I like the look. When I received them I was overjoyed to find that they were wide enough and also they were roomy enough so they don't crush the top of my foot. They feel about a half size larger then the size I ordered, but for me that is great because my feet swell and the shoes still are comfortable. I LOVE LOVE LOVE these shoes. I will definitely shop Zappos.com again, and I have already told all my friends about them. One other thing, delivery was very fast.
