I have been dealing with the effects of MS for 18 months.  Since I live in Montana, and balance and stability are new issues for me, winter walking has become a challenge.  I saw these clogs and noticed they had a new grip on the sole that was supposed to be better on snow and ice.  Because they were a "Today's deal" at a great price, I took a chance and purchased them.  Wow, am I glad I did!  They are well made, and the insole is warm and cushy (but not "memory foam cushy").  I wear them without socks, and I find I can slip them on and confidently go out in Montana winter weather.  The grip of the sole gives me added confidence I won't slip.  I can't wear these for extended walks, but for quick trips, they are great!  I highly recommend them!
