I might be generous in giving these 3 stars, but they aren't awful. It took a long time to get them, and they appear to be cheap, made in China, and are a little on the tight side. I have plantar fasciitis, so I'm super picky about shoes, and these did make my feet hurt after a few hours of wearing them. However to be fair, just about everything makes my feet hurt. I didn't spend much on them, they came in a plastic carrying bag, and I will end up using them. If you are looking for something cheap that you don't need to last long, these might fit the bill.
