Love the slight cushion. I don't like the flat hard type or the massage type, so this was perfect. I get men's as the women's never come in colors or styles I want (trade comfort and functionality for  &#34;fashion&#34;) so I converted my size and it fit just as expected. I've only used on short walks as I got them for quick jaunts outside (mailbox run, or quick dog potty break) and they worked just as I would imagine. Haven't tested on long walks as I use shoes, not sandals, for those.
