text: I have the Newport H2 sole purchased 3 years ago, but bought them 1/2 size too big (get by with cotton makeup remover pads in toe).  I have harder to fit feet - high arches, wider toe box, and narrow heel.  While I will keep the shoes, the Venice is not a total replacement for the Newports (my hope).  The Newports have a more solid sole for long walking.  The Venice is a &#34;softer&#34; sole.  The Venice fits correctly (these come snug then stretch a bit) - comes out to 1/2 size larger than foot corrects - even has room to wiggle my wider toes.
