While these are not as cushy or as comfortable on my heels/arches, the attractiveness of this shoe well than makes up for it, and I can still wear these all day and not be hobbling (thanks to my horrid plantar fasciitis). The two sides that you pinch around the rim are off. RIGHT INTO THE GARBAGE CAN! I have access to a 35 by 40 workshop and it fills this area effortlessly. I noticed the top didn?t stay on very well so i used a 3m double-sided adhesive roller on the top and it stays on great now! The only down side is they are slightly bulky, but anything smaller would compromise protection. For sure this bike would work best with traditional men?s style ?street? bikes, but it had flexibility to accommodate each of my different types. 5?? Since that time, I have used it twice. Some people may be okay with the scent if they like something really strong.
