My husband always wears Minnetonka moccasins for slippers because he thinks they look cool. But due to the lack of support, his legs hurt. I bought this for him for his birthday in November and he can't say enough good things about it! After a few days of wearing, he decided on an insole. He is an avid tennis player and uses softer insoles for these slippers and harder ones for his tennis shoes. double the burden.
