The uppers appear to be a bit more narrow than the prior model, but for practical fit and feel, they are just right for my feet and I like very wide shoes. While the outsole is flat, zero drop and has no arch support, there is some stability built into the new Fusion that some minimalist minded folks may or may not love.
