These are my favorite shoes, I wear them to work and stand on the warehouse floor most of the day. They slip a little if something touches your ankle, like most shoes I find them easier to put on. Feet get tired but I tried other shoes, avalanche for comparison. They last much longer, the profile practically does not wear out. Honestly my back creaks less and my lower leg hurts, now I prefer both legs. My arches have gotten bigger, my toes are back to normal, my little fingernails are no longer touching the ground. It took about a week or two to get used to. Bring a pair of shoes if you don't go barefoot like I did. Sometimes the stitching on the inside of the ankle can puncture, but this is usually fixed with a snap of the fingers. Wash and dry in less than 12 hours at 69F.
