In this newer version the insert has been downgraded. In the prior model there is gel featured in the insert from front to back, this product only features it half way from heel to arch. They also changed the toe from a more sleek looking rounded shape to a square off. Here is the link for the previous model which is almost identical: http://www.amazon.com/Skechers-Diameter-Confirmed-Fashion-Sneaker/dp/B001SASXFU/ref=cm_cr_pr_product_top
