I needed something I could wear around the house in the winter that would alleviate the pain from my plantar fasciitis.  These are great for that!  I like the ease of a slide-on, and the arch support and cushion in the sole are great for my painful feet.  I'm able to walk around at home with no pain and no need to use my custom insoles.  The sole is sturdy and makes for quick trips to the mailbox totally reasonable.  My only complaint is that I wish they were more breathable.  They get a little warm.
