Unfortunately I have to agree with most of the reviews here. I just received my shoes today and thought I was sent the wrong shoes. I just did what I always do - search 1123 and order a size 7 of the lady's purple and white. I didn't realize they had changed versions. I simply have them on and my feet are hurting so bad that I know they will kill my feet walking. I compared them to my other size 7 and these are at least an inch smaller and super tight across the wide toe section of the foot. I tried walking in the living room and it is like walking with boards on my feet - extremely stiff - no bend in the middle. I also had foot problems and finally found the 1123 that relived my foot problems. With my feet now in increasing pain just typing this, I know I will have to start the search for a new shoe to wear. I will start with any brand but NB. I never liked NB until the 1123 and then hated - along with many people - that the only color was purple and white.
