I don't usually like superlatives, but these slippers have so many advantages that they really are the best I've ever bought. I have a gift set of slippers worth over $100. They are warm, comfortable and very pretty, but if I had to choose just one pair I would choose Asifn. Warm and comfortable, they can be worn barefoot or snug with the laces tight. The sole has two advantages. They have a somewhat fine texture so are very slip resistant and minimize dirt penetration into the tread. I mention dirt because I wear them all the time to go outside briefly to walk my dog or for other needs. I went shopping in them, not on purpose, but found I didn't change into regular street shoes after leaving the house. The second benefit is that the shower wraps around both the front and back of the slipper. Consequently, the back of the slippers is firm and does not bend when you put them on. Finally, while there's not a lot of padding, I bought a cheap pair of earbuds and they've been very comfortable for me.
