Love the shoes. I have had a pair of 966 for about four years and it was finally time for a new pair. The 966's were no longer availble so I thought I would try the 959 model. Very light and comfortable. My only issue, if it is one, is the toe on the left foot is a little snug. Sure that will change with the breaking in stage. Still wear my 966 everyday to work (don't want to ruin the new ones) but the 959 is a nice comparison
