As an avid New Balance fan, and long time daily walker, I was not impressed with this offering for the following reasons:
1) This shoe did not breath at all. Wearing it for just a short while made my feet sweat.
2) Cushioning in the heel was lacking. With each step I could feel the pavement coming through the shoe.
3) I did like the appearance, but looks and comfort must go hand-in-hand.
4) The 950 was returned to Amazon, and my quest for a good walking shoe continues.
