The comfort is unparalleled. Too much padding around the ankleThe toe compartment is molded so it lifts up, and pushes the big toe up instead of it being flat, causing added pressure on the "ball of the big toe" and discomfort. The problem with the oiled bronze ones appears to be the same as with this set. 5 I initially ordered a 7. She finds them quite comfortable! s) but that didnt seem to make a difference. Also find the foam roller exercises ease out my painful shoulders n neck after a work day sa in front of a PC. The jury is still out on the long term longevity and battery life a few months down the line, but Ill be happy to revisit this review and update it in a few months if my opinion changes. I will say these are probably the most comfortable shoes I own. These earpads look better than the original.
