text: I bought these shoes for my mother as a birthday present so I'm writing down her experience with these shoes but I also bought a paid of these same shoes for work. She and I both loved how comfortable these shoes felt with the memory foam at first. it felt like you were on a cloud! but as expected that feeling goes away with time. they are beautiful vibrant colors. the shoes themselves are very light weight. both my mom and I went up 1/2 a size on our shoes because another reviewer suggested we do that because the memory foam part takes up a bit of room in the shoes and I want to say thank you to whoever posted that because they were absolutely right we indeed needed that extra 1/2 to make them feel comfortable. Both my mother and I wear these shoes often and find them incredibly comfortable to wear on a daily basis. I do have to say that I got water in my shoes on more that one occasion due to work related activities and they started to smell a bit! but since the memory foam part of the shoes is detachable the smell went away after me just taking that part out and washing them and drying them out in the sun a few days. Now they're as good as new! the outside fabric is also really easy to clean.
