I walk for exercise, and have been searching for a light weight, supportive, attractive shoe. Have recently ordered, and subsequently returned, several I thought might work for me. In the "light weight" category, I tried a few "minimal"or "barefoot" shoes - fairly comfy, but meant for runners - I'm not a runner, I walk mostly on concrete, and the "minimal" shoes were simply not substantial enough for that, As far as most of the designated "walking" shoes I tried...heavy, not very flexible, and definitely not attractive. Enter the NB 895,,,,lightweight, and despite what seems to be a hefty sole, very flexible. I do not have a wide foot, but I do have a nasty bunion on one foot, so I sometimes have to order wide width shoes. I took a chance on these and orderd my normal size, (7.5 B)and they fit perfectly, even with socks. Walking in them is a joy. The icing on the cake is that these shoes are really attractive, in my
opinion, particularly because of the ruche fabric detail. Obviously, I highly recommend these shoes...so much so that I am purchasing another pair.
