Bought these for a favorite pair of sandals that seems to have stretched a bit and become too loose to be very comfortable.<br />I trimmed them down and they fit fine. They do make the sandals fit nicely again!<br />Not extremely cushy, but a little extra gel layer.<br />2 &#34;negatives&#34; are:<br />- you can see them on the sandal bed under my toes (though not egregious, does look sort of &#34;orthopedic&#34; for pretty shoes.<br />- they have an odd odor, maybe sort of like earth. Perhaps an antibacterial treatment? Unpleasant, but fades as you wear them somewhat.
