I bought these shoes for myself about 6 months ago. I work from home and they fit well in shoes that don't make me look like a 90 year old woman. in slippers since I bought them my eldest son actually took them from me. He's 16 and has Asperger's, which means he's insanely smart and has learned Photoshop, but doesn't seem to be learning how to tie his shoelaces (this is an odd common trait among Aspies). Again, they look cooler than regular slip-ons and he likes that they don't accentuate it. So I finally bought him his own pair. My 13 year old brother decided to borrow from him. Now he wears them all the time. They are really comfortable and practical. So now I'm buying our 3rd pair.
