The arch was way for too far forward for any chance at comfort for my feet. It just seemed to be in an odd place.  I was bummed , because otherwise it was soft and thick, as described. I have plantar fasciitis, and therefore, a podiatrist . . and per him I have a high arch,  so I really was hoping these would be great for me. Part of me even struggled with returning them because of the great 'squish' factor when first trying them on,  but the arch was just way too uncomfortable for my feet. I hope others have better luck.
