Wide Fit Airflex™ Leather Derby Shoes

My husband is very pleased with these shoes, light and comfortable

Had several years ago. Fit well, good they do half sizes. Comfortable from start of wearing. Good colour.

My husband has wide feet and it’s been hard to find shoes he likes to wear that are comfortable. These ones are great, he wears them all the time.

Great quality. Happy with my purchase. Recommended.

It's astonishing that M&S have ruined this style of shoe that has been so comfortable in the past. Previous versions had lovely soft leather uppers and fitted well, the latest version has hard inflexible leather and doesn't even fit properly. I didn't buy it

Very comfortable and stylish, I love them. I picked the ones with the lighter trim on the side. Good grip and support.

Very comfortable and stylish design. I love airflex shoes and the fact that these ones are extra wide.

Bought for.my husband who had problems with his feet. We got wide fit and they are excellent very comfortable

These shoes look very comfortable,my sone liked the colour and wide fit

Nice shoe for you size 12s Couldnt find one in store (only goes up to size 11)

Smaller in both length and width than the same pair I bought a year ago! How?

My husband loves them they look good,they are light,comfortable and it brilliant to be able to order them in a size 6 which is becoming more and more difficult. Thank you

This review is purely for those who have bought this model through its previous 3 revisions over the last 16 years. In my experience this is the 4th version of this shoe over the last 16 years and whilst all previous versions evolved well, this one is a terrible let-down. First problem : One thing that manufacturers forget in the case of long running models like this one, is that over the years they build a large number of followers of specific models, many of which will have custom-made insoles specifically for that model, like me. Well, with this model you will have to have your £150 insoles re-made because the back of this shoe is so high, you will end up walking on your toes. You will need new custom-made insoles where the heel of your insoles has had 3mm shaved off, possibly 4mm. 2nd problem : Toes ! With past models of this shoe, and many other Wide-Fit models at M&S, the designers understood that if you need wide-fit this almost always means you also need more upward room for your toes. Not with this one. 3rd problem : Again, with past wide-fit models the designers understood that the front of the shoe needs to be more rounded than normal shoes. Not this one. 4th problem : even with insoles with height shaved off the heel, the incredibly high back of these shoes is such that you end up hitting the ground with the back of the heel at all times. As a result the heel wears out much more quickly than with any of the previous iterations of this shoe - in simple terms this £60 shoe will no longer last you as long as it used to just because of abnormal high wearing out of the heel. 5th problem : the sole. Soles with this tread design are an absolute nightmare - they gather water on rainy days, they gather rubbish in those deep but narrow grooves and, low and behold, make sure you never tread on mud (or worse) because then it is a major cleaning job with a special brush. So, the most fantastic brilliant Wide-Fit M&S shoe of the last 16 years has been destroyed in one wand of a designer : toes squashed down and sideways, insoles to be re-made, abnormal forward leaning, heels which wear out abnormally fast and a sole which gathers everything from water, to rubbish, and worse. Grrrrrr

Not a good fit. One shoe is longer than the other. I had to buy some padding to make it fit.
