These sandals provide the usual well-padded comfort of FitFlop but without the thong style.  It's a slightly less casual style and is easy to switch to when you're wearing tights or socks.  If you have any sort of bottom-of-foot issues -- callouses, fallen arches, etc. -- the foot-bed of FitFlops is extremely comfortable, though not necessarily "cushy".  They provide a firm cushion and save me discomfort as no other shoe ever has.
