They have the best turn around time on orders because they ship out of several regional warehouse locations.

Tim.
While I also like Honig's, I don't like their plate shoes that much. I strongly prefer the Gerry Davis patent leather ones much better, so my recommendation would be to order a pair from them. Here's some helpful info...

The GD ones have a removable Dryz insole that makes wearing them very comfortable; however, they take up a bit of space in the shoe. When I first purchased them, I asked Mary at GD to send me two pairs--my normal size and one size larger. She was more than willing to oblige. When I tried them on, I kept the next size up and returned the other pair and have never regretted that decision.

BTW, one can always make this plate shoe even more snug by putting in your own insole, like a Dr. Scholl's one. I guarantee that would help in certain circumstances.
