I wanted lightweight slip ons that I can wear around the house. We don't wear our outdoor shoes at home, but over the years my feet have become more and more sore when I'm barefoot on hard ground. I tried them because they were cheaper than those uneven Adidas I was planning to buy. My feet don't hurt walking around the house. I don't think they really help that much until I walk around the house without them and remember what that pain was like. Adjustable Velcro straps easily adjust to your feet. I would probably buy again. They survived until home use. No sign of decay or separation.
