text: I've had two pairs of these shoes.  The first was purchased about four years ago and they were the best shoes I've had in years.  During the week I walk about five miles per day in these shoes.  The rubber sole finally cracked on one of the shoes so I needed a new pair.  I received the new pair and realized that although the model number was the same in both pairs they were not the same shoe.  The new shoes appeared to be more cheaply made and felt awful to wear.  At the end of the day my feet, ankles, knees, and hips all hurt.  So I tried some thicker socks which helped a little.  Next I put  inserts into the shoes and that also helped a little but the shoes still make my feet, ankles, knees, and hips hurt.  I'm back to wearing the old shoes temporarily until I find something else to wear.
