These are the only shoes/slippers my husband will wear around the house.  He needed some comfortable shoes to wear around the house and I felt bad because being a 6'3 guy 200 lb guy slippers just didn't cut it in the comfort area and he was going through slippers WAY too often.  I found these about 4 years ago and now every year he gets a new pair.  Not that he really needs to buy a pair every year but I think the likes to have a nice new pair to start the year off with.  My husband is not the kind of guy to really say he likes something.  I usually get a mmhmm, eh or a yep but with these shoes he actually said he loved them and that they were the most comfortable shoes he's worn.  He doesn't care about price or anything  just says honey can you get me a pair and he gets them every year and for my hubby this is big. With everyone else he does not mind spending but can be very frugal for himself.  Well not with these shoes he actually really likes them. He says he wished they made a more casual sneaker he would be comfortable wearing out more and he would definitely buy them,  These are hands down his favorite shoe and we will continue to buy them every year just as we have the last 4 years.
