My husband's feet were very swollen and he could not wear anything except socks. We needed shoes to go to the doctor. Velcro fasteners make it easy to put on and take off. While they don't look like tennis shoes, they don't look awful/old.
Pros
Opens just enough for swollen feet...then closes easily. The insole is molded around the foot.
Cons
The back of the shoe is stiff and rubs against the Achilles tendon.
