I bought these for my mom. She has lost the ability to tie sneakers and struggles with the shoe back when slipping loafer type shoes on. I would have thought that "clogs" would be unsafe and the risk of "loosing" a shoe would be dangerous and risking falls. But, these fit around the top of the foot like a firm hug and the material is comfortable around her bunions as well. They are light weight and stylish. The rubber soles make them appropriate for all seasons for the little travel outdoors that she does.
