Not really all that comfortable. These look and feel great but are too large. She likes them in terms of look and comfort - I have always enjoyed this brand of sandal, so no surprise there. For example, I pulled on the Hyper X pads as hard as I could and couldnt break them. I just got back from Havasupai and used them (without socks) to hike to Beaver Falls. I must have been lucky as this last one lasted for some time before water damage ultimately killed it. I have spent hours getting by car roof bag and basket ready, stopped at the hardware store to buy locks that now need to be returned. The quality of the stand is a good quality. There are three different sizes, arbitrarily placed, just suitable for my home, there are children, there are adult shoes, convenient for me to store, you can clearly see where the shoes are, not messy! Ok for the first time in thirty years no cracked heels.
