Comfortable and fit true to size. Not a lot of padding but a gel sole insert took care of that. Comfort is everything, and I wore those shoes out. I went to bed and woke up the next morning in hopes a new day would bring "pairing" clarity. Ive only had to use Astro support two times over the three years and both times I had used the support, the service I received was excellent and fast, they get directly to the point and try to address the issue. This Little Piggy Is A Beauty QueenOn the plus side, this is one cute pair of shoes, and my wife does still wear them around. Theyve even survived the laundry a time or 2 (Although I wouldnt recommend it :-) )The ear cushions do fall off sometimes, but Ive tried the foam ones in different sizes & they hurt my ears after a while. Nice highs that would have been excellent with good mids to support them ended up a bit shrill without the mid range giving some mellowness. Easy to slip off and on but the strap firmly holds my foot in place. This product is miracle.
