you don't think about them, you just walk! Previously, I would be thinking about my feet as I did my daily walks. My right foot would become painful, the toes eventually going numb, and then my hip would start hurting. So far so good with the 927s. I just walk walk walk now. It surprised me when I completed my walk and realized I didn't think about my feet.

I do recommend spending a little more and getting your first pair from a NB store. They'll properly measure your foot and put you on an analyzer machine to see in you need a different insole - note that you may need a larger shoe if you replace the insole. And if the 927 isn't the perfect shoe for you, they have plenty of other options. I tried on several different ones just to be sure before buying the 927 and replacement insole.
