My husband has a plate in his ankle and can't WAIT to get his work boots off, then usually puts on a very beat up, nasty pair of slip ons.  I gave these to him and he went "ahhh" right away and his face lit up, honest! Very comfortable inside, very stylish to wear out to a casual dinner and he just better not abuse them.  Now I just have to buy them in more colors (got the neutral olive one).
