I am not a slipper wearer.  I mean, c'mon, I live in South Texas, when are my feet EVER cold!?  However, I do alot of work around the house (cleaning, cooking, etc).  Anytime I'm not at work, I HATE wearing shoes.  But of course my feet hurt after cleaning/cooking on tile and wood floors barefoot.  My husband suggested I get slippers.  I said no, because slippers have NO support, fall apart easily, are too hot, etc.  These are different!  There's just enough support to get me through my chores.  They have a nice stiff bottom that makes them durable for indoor or outdoor use.  But they aren't tight, hot, or oppressive like my bare-foot loving self feared.  I'm sure if my feet ever do get cold (that'll be the day), they will adequately warm them.  They're pretty awesome.  Get 'em.
