Foot bed has a nice soft cushion which is of great importance to me. I usually wear a 7M size and purchased a size 37. They required a few days of wear to break in and become comfortable. Felt a little narrow when I first put them on but now after wearing 3 times they are very comfortable and even wore them as we climbed the steps of the Acropolis to see the Parthenon. I would recommmend purchasing as long as you take time to break them in.
