I will say they are better than I expected but not for everyday use. Long story short I needed a pair of funeral shoes and when I bought them I intended to only use them at funerals (fast shipping and insanely low price). I'll keep them in my closet, they're not the best, especially if you're someone who wears fairly comfortable shoes on a regular basis, but they're kind of comfortable. The sole is very soft if you wear them every day you might need a new pair every couple of weeks as I think they wear out quickly but if you want a nice pair of shoes for the occasion then they're probably the best 30 dollars. You will spend on elegant shoes that will not hurt your feet.
