I originally bought these slippers so I could wear them comfortably when I got home. Wow! Wasby was surprised the first time he saw and put on slippers! I didn't want to take them off! They are so comfortable I'm buying another pair! By the way, they are so similar to ordinary shoes that I wear them in the store and in the neighborhood. You have plenty of support and fortitude to go outside. BEST PAIR OF SLIPPERS EVER!.🙂
