I love these slipper shoes! My doctor told me I should never walk barefoot due to diabetes and I don't like wearing slippers. I found myself wearing anklet socks all the time but they seem to be too slippery. I originally foun these in a hospital gift shop and bought a couple pair. I wore them until they were entirely worn out. I began looking to buy more and first found the Nufoot slippers with actual heavy rubber soles. But I didn't feel comfortable wearing these in my recliner because they were more like shoes, and I don't like needing to take shoes off and put them on each time I get up. I looked a bit harder and found these. They have little plastic feet affixed to the bottom for skid protection, but feel more like a sock. I love them and they don't have heavy soles that will damage furniture. They're just great to protect your feet and you needn't take them off every time you put your feet up.
