I have an arthritic lump on the top of the main joint of my big toe, so I really appreciate the roomier toebox and flexibility of theses shoes.  There is no really arch support to these, so don't expect it, but the cushioning is great, and the material is both attractive and durable. The sole is also excellent for walking on potentially slippery surfaces.  This is my second pair of these - that's how much I like them.
