I bought these for comfort and ease of getting in and out of; however, I find that walking in them can be a bit of a chore. As for bike riding, my feet slip out of them because they are a bit wide. I use them around the house or a quick trip to the store. They are not good for long walks. They clean up very well, I washed them and had no shrinkage and they did not turn yellow. Gotta say, Amazon delivers very timely...no long waits for your purchases.
