My son is on his feet all day, and is required to wear heavy boots. He asked me to keep my eye out for something that would give him comfort. These are not your typical, lightweight pad. These are shaped to follow the natural curves of your feet. Raised at the insole, with extra cushion for extreme comfort. They are also rounded up around the edging, almost blanketing your feet. You feet don't slide around and they feel secure and pillowed for extended periods of time. The fit was also perfect. My son wears a 10 and these were exact in the length and width.
