I bought these thinking theyd be similar to the vionic flip flops I wear. The flip flops are soft and very supportive. These sneakers were nothing like the flip flops. Very little cushion. Good quality but the sole was just brutal on my sore heel. How hard could it be to create an insole like the flip flop or sandal and fit it into a sneaker? That is what I was expecting and this was not it. Not for me. I had to return.
