I'm an 8.5 XW shoe, and have never ordered shoes online because it can be difficult to gauge fit using sizing charts. However, I've bought many other styles of Easy Spirit shoes before, and thought these would be a good value. It turns out, they're much narrower than most medium width shoes, and I could get them on (barely), but it hurt to wear them. These would be a great value for someone with narrow feet, I think. For me, personally, they were a complete waste of money.
