text: I bought these in my usual size and they're a bit loose width-wise.  But that's not the reason for giving them only one star. I paid about $43 and feel like I overpaid by $35.  After a month of wearing them nearly every day, they still emit a rather strong musty odor which some other reviewers have noted.  I thought it might lessen over time- it has not.  The insoles are very squishy, and the heel  feels lower than the rest of the foot, so I put some heel cup insoles in- they just got absorbed into the squishyness negating whatever extra support they might have given.  The shoes lack any arch support at all.  I have flip flops that provide a better foot bed.  The only plus I can give these is that you're not likely to get a blister from them, but probably for reasons that are related to how bad these are otherwise.
