This is one of the best purchases Ive ever made for my 98 year old father. When he developed a  sore and then a large scab on his foot he was unable to wear his shoes or regular slippers but still wanted to be able to get out of the house.  These moccasin type pull ups worked perfectly for him during the healing process.  They did not rub on the scab at all.  My brother found a pair of soft insoles to add a little cushioning and Dad was able to wear them not only indoors but outdoors as well.  In addition, Dad was easily able to pull these up on his feet and legs without assistance despite a shoulder injury.
