Wide Width Dressy Sandals at Zappos.com

Shopping for wide width shoes can be such a hassle if you need to go from store to store, looking aimlessly for shoes that are available in your size.

These shoes have a 'pillow top' footbed that sounds really comfy. Reviews indicate that this is a shoe that buyers have liked very much. Available in wide and extra wide widths for $78.90 USD.
