I dont think it has very wide soundstage, it has some but not that much. APART FROM THAT. UPDATEForget everything I just said. Meleen Crocs have a bit higher arch and tighter straps, it feels to me anyway, but these new Swiftwater Tellurides are very comfortable and comparable. I assembled this in about 25 minutes taking my time to see if I had any of the cracking, holes out of alignment and all the other problems mentioned in other reviews. Does what it says and it works. And guess what?It stays up without the straps! Does not align with Kamensteins bamboo spice rack. When I was finished assembling the rack, I was worried it was going to be too short for my coats. Wish they made the same in Navy Blue!
