I am TRILLED that I was able to find these again! I wasn't sure about buying these until I read the other reviews...THANK YOU to all for that. I had surgery on my ankles a few years back & I am to wear a 1200 NB or higher with inserts. When I found these they were perfect for me!  When it came time to purchase my next pair, I was disappointed that they had "changed the colors".  I purchased what I THOUGHT was just a different color of shoe when in fact, it was a whole new model of shoe. (Employee's failed to tell me that fact at time of purchase) After just 2 days of wearing the other model, I had a difficult time walking-very painful & unbalanced. Needless to say, I quit wearing them which in turn made me feel like I just wasted $200 on a shoe that i literally need to wear. Decided to do some research & YAY! I found MY shoe again. LOVE THEM!!! Again THANK YOU to all the others that reviewed this item as it was a deciding factor in ordering them. Will be ordering anther pair before they disappear again. As for the "other" model shoe, I was able to pass it forward to someone who was in dire need of a good everyday shoe. In the end, a win-win!
