i wanted a clog style house slipper. new house has all hard wood and tile floors. they get cold and make my feet cold. i wanted a slipper that i could put on and off easily. not many options in size 15 at this price point. the sole is somewhat slick on the bottom compared to a normal shoe, and insole is pretty firm, not much cushion. all of my other shoes are really comfortable with memory foam insoles, so in comparison these are not as comfortable, but they're ok. the main thing is they keep my feet warm when i'm watching tv and sitting at my desk, so they are fulfilling their intended purpose.
