Not only do Terrains run wide, but they also stretch quite a bit. When I 
bought mine, they fit fairly well, maybe a tiny bit wide. I bought a 
half-size short so the width would be OK.  By the time I had worn them some, 
they had stretched to at least one size wider, and now I have to wear thick 
socks to take up the space. And they are a bit too short, as they were in 
the beginning.  Nice idea, the Terrains, but they don't fit narrow feet.
