When i put these shoes on they were really unexpectedly comfortable they had padding in them but its not like to think of padding to where its going to affect the fitting of the shoe size but its enough padding to where i wore them all day and wore them the next day as well and my feet and were not sore even a little bit because the padding is not just on the bottom of the foot on the top of the foot its all the way up the ankle area into the calf area and theyre really cute very comfortable shoes i love them it is the right shoes size but the top of the boot was extremely too big
