I give it 3 stars because they are durable and sturdy with the plastic sole. While I had bought a different design from the same company last year and it turned out to be very good, this one wasn't the same. The size 38 that I wear in this design has a larger fit. Also, even though it says they are anatomical and have memory gel, that doesn't exist, they are flat. They are hard when you wear them and not soft.
