A nice amount of support for walking around, great protection from burning your feet on hot pavement around the hotel pool and hot sand as well as from any sharp shells, etc. They are well made and beautiful. A great buy for my first time getting such high platform! Does not have to only be used as a coat or clothes. I am not the fluffy slipper type. Since many haven?t experienced this before, I?ll say that the games are playable, fun, and defiantly something you?ll use numerous times. I had my buds hooked to my jeans and as I was walking. So size up by like a half size. Feels like theyll be uncomfortable when wearing for 1+ hrs (rubbing on the heel), but I love that they came w/ little rubbery heel inserts to prevent heel rubbing! It took a little time to get them together, but they are solid now.
