This shoe is supposed to be an upgrade from the 926 IT IS NOT Even with claims of RollBar the heel is just too narrow to provide the same support. I purchased the 926 until it was no longer available in my size I was happy with NB for more than 10 yrs but NB doesnt make true atheletic shoes I don't stroll I power walk but @ 60 I need support I'm making old shoes do but I'm looking elsewhere cos its not 1st time NB has done this My husband also wore NB for yrs but switched to Pearl Izumi's 2 yrs ago Wish I would have returned these instead of trusting NB. I guess I still believe in honesty. They are probably grooming their Corporation to sell & don't really care about the quality of their product nor the satisfaction of their clients who pushed them to the top.
