While this shoe is not awful, if you have fallen arches or flat feet it isn't good either.  The toe base says it is wide but it's not as roomy and comfortable as the original 409 and it does not have the arch support of the original either.  By the end of the day my feet are not happy in these shoes and I cannot wear them two days in a row.  If you do not have foot problems they would likely be a great shoe.
