These slippers are great when you commonly need to briefly trek outside to get the newspaper, fetch something from the car in the driveway, or accompany a hesitant dog to the backyard to do their business. Style is "acceptable" to even my teenage son who balks at wearing anything that looks like it's for a Grandpa.The inside is comfortable and cozy, and generous enough even with socks (son is shoes size 11). The bottom sole is high enough to keep the fabric upper off the ground when you go outside. Easy to rinse off if you step in something yucky, and OK in the laundry cycle for general cleaning.
