They don't have the same kind of cushioning that other NB shoes I've used have had. They also didn't fit as snugly. I felt like had thrown away the shoes and was wearing the box.

I put in some spenco inserts, and that has helped. But I had to put the sock liner back into the shoes on top of the inserts, because the shoe was so large that there were gaps between the inserts and the side if the shoes. I also wear two pairs of socks. That has helped.

So, unless you can try them on first, and like the feel of them, I'd give them a pass.
