They are VERY comfortable.  I bought these less than a week ago to be worn in my house only.  The color is already starting to peel from the top!  No chemicals or water has touched them.  I read somewhere in another post that someone else had the same problem.  I thought maybe just a faulty pair.  Then I happened to be the unlucky one to get a pair with the same problem!  Otherwise I highly recommend them.  I'm on my feet a lot grooming my Standard Poodles, cooking, etc, and they are really light and fun to wear.  I'm returning this defective pair and ordering another pair in the black shiny finish, in the hopes the color will not peel off!
