after wearing these shoes for two hours,  i felt like i was walking on stones.  no cushion at all that i found.  i had to take the inner souls out of my old shoes and put in the new shoes., then they felt ok.  they fit me well.  i did punch more holes in the  toe area to keep my feet vented.  the holes that they have are ridiculous.  if it weren't for the old inner soles , i could not have used them.  i am a men with a narrow foot.  women 12 serves my purpose.  .hard to find these mules in a mans shoe.
