These are really nice quality shoes and very comfortable BUT they have no cushioning and basically it's like walking right on the hard tread of the shoe. It's fine if you use them as slippers, but if you're actually going out, cork (or even wooden) sandals are gentler on your knees than these. If you want to use them as shoes, increase the size and keep the quality. an insole that is placed under the artificial fleece insole. Also, they are (obviously) not real fleece (sheepskin). Not bad overall, but no stars because... yes, no padding.
