I bought these to wear around the house so I have a pair of shoes so I don't scratch or stain our new wooden floors. I keep my old shoes by the back door so I can put them on when I go out with the dogs and just change them when I come back in. I was looking for slip-ons for this specific purpose. They're comfortable but not the most stylish, but since I never intended to wear them outside the home I don't mind the looks. I wear them all day, every day and have no complaints!
