I like Salomon XA Pro 3D's well enough to have bought 3 pair, and they've held up well for general approach use. Don't know what you mean by "difficult" feet, but mine are flat and wide. I prefer the non-Gore-tex model since I commonly step in water over the height of my ankles even when trying to be careful, and it just drains out the mesh. The only loser was the Red S-Lab race shoe with the sewn-on gaiter; nice idea but poorly executed. They put the gaiter opening in the wrong place so you couldn't put the things on, especially when your feet were sweaty. Also the tongue rotated toward the outside of your foot, which never happened with the regular XA Pros. I cut the gaiter off and sewed the tongue in place and they now are my street shoes.
They can often be found on sierratradingpost.com or backcountryoutlet.com for around $70.
