They are soft and they grip the floor some when walking around the house. That's about all I can say good about these. They don't warm my feet which is main reason I bought these. All they seem to do is keep my feet cold. If your feet are warm going in then these might work ok for you but I thought these were like a parka for your feet. Maybe I expected too much but I wanted cozy socks/slippers to warm my feet after a cold day outside. I didn't get that from these. Expensive lesson.
