I bought these sandals/sneakers for my father. He usually likes to wear flip flops in warm weather, but as he gets older it becomes harder for him to move. I bought a pair of shoes very similar to these and I really like them. So I knew he did too. They are very easy to put on. They have an elastic band at the top of the foot that makes it easy to slip your foot into the shoe. If you want the shoe to fit your foot snugly, just pull the elastic band and it will tighten. The sole is nice, thick and durable. So far my father is very happy with it. He can put them on with no problem and they don't fall or move, so hopefully he doesn't trip over anything. It turned out to be a very good pair of shoes for him. My mom asked for other colors so I will most likely be back to order more!
