I bought these because of how cold it can get in the winter where I live.  Plus I wanted something that covered my whole foot and had some good cushion under my feet (as we have tiled floors in the kitchen). These work perfect. I do recommend that you buy a size bigger as they are so plush that they are a little tight.  I don't see that as a downfall though... it's worth it to have that much cushion and warmth.  You won't be disappointed.
