My 95 year old Father-in-law has been a die-hard customer of another "wide shoe" brand for decades and we needed to order shoes that would fit his extremely swollen feet. Not even his favorite brand had shoes wide enough to fit, so when I found ICS online, I decided to give it a try. Using the measure guide on their website, we measured his feet and legs and then I called ICS Customer Service to get their feedback on the best size to order. After providing all the measurements and talking to the Rep, she gave her recommendation and I placed the order.
The order didn't take long to arrive. We took the shoes to try on Dad. Unfortunately, his feet were still too swollen to fit properly, but at least we knew we were on the right track. He was adamant we had to return them (he has grumpy-itis) so we didn't argue and the return went smoothly.
I would have preferred to return the shoes and order another, wider pair, which is what the Customer Service recommended when I placed the original order ("if these don't work, send them back and we'll order another, wider/longer size" - I wish I could remember he name) but given Dad's attitude, we just gave up. Sometimes you have to pick your battles.
Side note: the doctors have recently been able to reduce his swelling, so we *might* give it another try... but at any rate, this was a great company and they gave 5* service. You won't regret buying this brand.
Oh, by the way, these were THE SOFTEST leather shoes I've ever purchased! They felt like butter.
