This is the first time I have written an unfavorable review for any New Balance Shoes.  They have always been a favorite of mine, especially the 926s. Those were the best, and so I was expecting the same from the 927s.  For some unkown reason, I have been experiencing severe pain in my left foot when wearing these shoes.  It also seems, for whatever reason, to be cutting off my circulation.  I have checked and the size is correct - just for some reason, my foot seems to be getting numb when wearing them.  Also, there is supposed to be some great kind of odor resistant technology in the 927, but, I have to say, I have never had what I like to call "sneaker feet" as bad as I have with the 927s!  Just awful!  I also suspect this shoe will not last as long as my 926s.  I wish they still had the 926s in my size - I wouldn't hesitate to buy them.  But the 927s - THUMBS DOWN!
