I bought these to take the dog outside during the winters when I have socks on (I typically wear thong slippers / flip-flops).Originally, I was going to order some Birkenstock ones because I used to have those and liked them. Plus, I wasn't sure about a "cheap knockoff".But, after reading other reviews, I figured these were cheap enough to at least give it a try,So far, I'm glad I did.Not only was the fit just as I expected, these are lighter & cushier than I expected. Despite the light weight, they still feel rather durable, but only time will tell, I guess.Not to knock the name brand whose product these were obviously inspired by, but I think I'll be buying another pair of these once this pair wears out. Save money, live better!
