These are great for what they are! They certainly look inexpensive, but were actually surprisingly comfortable (I got them half a size big so they wouldn't be pressing on my feet anywhere and I could wear socks and an orthotic shoe insert). I never wear stiff shoes, and I wore these for an event and walked around ALL day in them and was fine. They are true to size, maybe slightly on the larger size, so unless you are like me and want extra room, I would just order your regular size.
