My first NB shoe purchase was the 843. I absolutely loved them. My second, third and fourth pairs were 844\'s. They were ok, however, with my orthodic, not as comfortable as the 843\'s. I then purchased the 845. After only about two - three hours of wearing my heels hurt so bad I could barely walk. I waited several days and tried them again - the pain returned and each time after that when I wore them. I compared the heels and found that the more stable part of the leather was cut lower than the 844 or the 843 and cut right into my heel causing the pain. I had to return them. I am disappointed to find out that the 846\'s have not been released and the problem corrected. I am currently wearing a 768 that is too narrow in the toe box and has caused soft corns. I am in dire need of a new pair of shoes as mine are badly broken down. I hope the heel problem is corrected with the next model. I wish I had purchased a lifetime supply of 843\'s as I an unable to wear any other type shoe daily. I must wear my orthodics. Please bring back the 843!

I previously had the 842 model with the roll bar; The roll bar on the 842 was much better positioned for my foot than the 845. After wearing the 845 shoe for four months, the liner is in tatters; The 842 liner, which is 2 years old, is close to new. I was not as satisfied with the overall wear and tear of the new 845 model. I keep looking at clearance and outlet malls for the long-gone 842.
