since they are rubber you might get a few blisters at the beginning of the wear until you break them in so be aware and wear socks accordingly. looked cheap and old fashioned Dont feel as nice as the original pads but those feel apart so this is a fine solution. Having said that, this sandal is very light and very comfortable. I sent them back and crossed my fingers that these would be as good as my old ones, and happily theyre exactly the same!

Yes, like others have stated, they are very stiff but Im sure some wear will make them fine. the quality and make is nice, but. not necessarily the looks. Doesnt feel cheap and has the colors seen in the sample photo.
