I just wanted to find slippers that you can wear in rain or snow with a rubber sole to go to the garage, post office, etc. and not get wet, dirty or cold feet, no shoelaces bother you or getting dressed make more difficult. They are perfect for that. The only negative I can say at the moment is that the packaging folds down the back of the shoe's heel tabs. I hate when they fold at your feet and you have to pull them out. I hope after using them they don't do it again.
