I have been using these shoes for about 10 years as "casual" shoes - office, shop, home, leisure. they glide very easily, but remain. They're great if you have to remove your shoes frequently when entering and leaving the house. Shoes last about a year with constant use. My only complaint, only complaint, is that the usual point of wear is on the inside of the heel counter where there is a logo on the heel counter that wears through the softer layer of cushioning and eventually wears holes in the toes. I just need to watch the soft pad for wear and change my shoes before it affects my socks.
