I bought these to replace the D/Cd WW967s (which I LOVED). After <1day I knew they were all wrong. As I mentioned above plus they rubbed the top of my toes and had poor cushioning for the Achilles tendon. I will be calling New Balance tomorrow after I return these. I have ordered the LAST pair of WW967s 1/2 size larger than I wear and will buy thicker socks!
