This is my third set of Hideawys. Each has worn as expected, with at least two years of wear for each. The initial fit is a little snug, as expected, since my others were as well. They soon flexed out and were very comfortable within two weeks of wear. I wear them inside and outside the house. The slip free soles are too effective initially, but here again that improved with wear. I shuffle my feet, so that may quicken the soul wear.
