I LOVE THESE SHOES! I'm over 50, disabled, and have had problems with my leg my entire life. I recently had my second spine surgery in thirteen months. I bought these shoes a month before my surgery because I needed something better than slippers that was easy to put on, non-slip and had good support. Loops on the front and back are an added bonus to make it easier to hold when taking strong painkillers. After a long search I decided on two different pairs of shoes. This pair met all my requirements. I've been wearing these shoes for 2 months now ALL my waking hours when not in bed. It took almost no break-in time. Over time they have become even more comfortable. I will definitely be buying another pair soon.
