I purchased a pair of these recently and love them!! I am a busy stay at home mom and can't keep my feet warm during the winter months without socks and slippers on. So much so that I wear my slippers down to holes every five to six months. Without sippers my busy sock feet are always picking up water from the kitchen or somewhere else. I love these because they are a waterproof, sturdy slipper. I don't have to change my socks five times a day. :) These are also very comfortable for lounging and moving around the house. I highly recommend!!
