These were a gift for my sister, because her dog chewed her only pair.  She says they are more comfortable ( with soft footbed) than the regular.  She was absolutely thrilled, and she's been wearing them ever since she got them.  Great buy, great transaction!

These are the second pair I bought for my sister.  She prefers the soft footbed, whereas I prefer the hard.  Whatever you choose, these are the BEST shoes for your feet you will ever buy!  Smooth transaction all the way.
