These shoes are very comfortable and fit very snugly on the foot. When I first put them on I thought I was the wrong size but they don't hurt, it's like putting your foot in a pillow and wrapping it in medical tape. Plenty of traction and cushioning, and the rest of the shoe stretches to match the type of feel. They have nothing uncomfortable other than the initial fit which wears off after a few steps and the more you wear them and walk or run in them the better they feel and fit.
