I bought these slippers because of all the claims of "like walking on clouds" they are very cushiony. I cannot feel the floor at all when walking with them on.  I have very little fat padding on my heels and get shooting pains all the way from my feet to my back when in regular flat slippers but not in these. Bought a pair as a gift for someone and when she liked it so much I decided to come back it give it a try myself, glad I did even though I had some trouble with fufilled at Amazon (sent wrong size once),it worked out eventually and is worth the physical pain reduction.
