I bought these for "house shoes" so wanted something comfortable but not expensive.  Bought these on Prime Wardrobe because I have a horrible time buying shoes in the store (typically can't easily find anything bigger than 13 and when I do, they just don't feel right) so was expecting an on-line purchase to have to be returned - a feature of Prime Wardrobe, try before you buy.  They came as promised.  Put them on and they felt good right out of the box.  Wore them around the house for and hour or so at a time over several days.  Still good.  Tossed the previous pair as I'm keeping these.
