I was hoping that Superga shoes would be comfortable - I've seen them everywhere and people seem to love them. Unfortunately, they're just really heavy and uncomfortable to me. The inside is hard - it's just stiff canvas and will rub if you're prone to blisters. And the insoles aren't very soft. There's no arch support to speak of. If you just want some Kate Middleton sneakers and don't care about comfort, get these and pull the beads off. I returned them because I knew I could find better sneakers for the price.
