These shoes are durable and very comfortable. They work well in my house where all floors are wood or tile, no carpet. If you have a similar life situation and your feet hurt from constantly standing on a hard surface, then these slippers are for you. I'm "hot" and don't like the "fuzzy slippers" you usually see. This is a leather-like material that keeps your feet much cooler than fluffy slippers. I wish they could make them out of real leather as I think that would make them a little more durable than they actually are which is the reason for 4 stars instead of 5.
