They are not cushy orthotics, but they do have enough support to be comfortable through a day. If you have a long day ahead of you, you need to be wearing these shoes. These are soft and comfortable but I am a woman and wear an 10W-11W in womens and the 11M just barely fit me. Love these, really easy to use in my PT business and home workouts. Why would you have outdoor mode when all it does takes away bass making it sound thin (my personal opinion). I used these to clean off my 110lb. Im just a little annoyed that I purchased these less than 5 days ago for $35 and now theyre $30. They also cost more than these, so keep that in mind. Or you can get #1 quality if you do it right and pay a proper price. director Michael Apted no how to do action.
