Quite similar to the SuperFeet. Contrary to what many might think, your feet are probably not going to benefit by a cushy, plush padding. It may feel better initially but it is only treating the symptom.

I had gone trough a bed period of foot pain a few years ago and tried a lot of stuff. Then I got my SuperFeet. For the first couple of wearings, it actually hurt a little more. But, within about 10 days, the pain I had had for months was largely gone.
