The soles are very thin, and the toes did not fit my foot. I had to return the item. On the up side, the return process went smoothly. The seller did a good job of handling the return & refund. The item was just not what we expected. My wife has another model with a real sole, and she likes hers. I may try them out again, but not via Amazon. It is a different enough type of fit to require trying on at the point of sale.
