I give 5 stars but after wearing them for a few days I found something to mention. First off, these shoes are VERY VERY comfortable. When I wore it for the first time, I didn't feel anything on my feet. But when I started walking like this, I immediately noticed something strange feeling. The bottom of the sole is not thick enough to feel the pads. Walking down the street I didn't feel any heel pad but overall it's a very comfortable shoe.
