yeah, I cant stand not finding a place to try ont he shoes in some stores lol.
My NB cost me 180$

they are expensive in canada.. however, the second I put them on I knew they were the right shoe.
What a difference, they are their Hiking shoe but the rep at the store told me eveyrone who buys Hiking NB wears them as a daily shoe lol. anyway the bottom sole on mine are super tough so i dont feel the peebbles and they have a slight rocker so helps.
Also, the heel isnt elevated above the toes and the toe box is Wide! i cant believe how hard it is to find a freaking shoe that has a wide Toe Box..
