Can?t take the off, seems to relax your feet. If you want more comfort under your feet, prepare to buy other insoles to replace the ones that come with these. I use mine for towels. This product was nice it overall fit well . Dont spend $5 on a pair of ear buds that you have to replace every week. The zipper in the back is nice and sturdy. The thong did not fit well at all. I am buying these to replace the exact same pair that I had for 5 years before the strap lifted out of the back, even then it had two securing points on each side so it didnt leave me shoeless when it broke. This princess in the pea walker/worker is very sensitive and needs to figure out a solution. You have nothing to lose and everything to gain.
