My husband is a Diabetic and suffers from neuropathy and back problems so I struggle getting shoes on his feet. It is difficult to find something comfortable and light weight in a size 15. He wasn't quite sure about them originally but once he wore them his mind changed. These have become his favorite ones for running errands etc. I would not recommend them for yard work and other tasks because they are so lightweight and offer little protection from injury. But for normal activities they are wonderful and machine washable and that is a huge plus.
