I wear the shoes often around the house and outside. Comfortable once on but difficult at best for someone like me with arthritis and the shoe not having a pull strap at the back. I don't always have a shoehorn handy and getting a finger inside the tightly fit back (which helps the fit once on) can be a challenge. If they had a pull strap at the back they would have gotten 4 stars for sure, maybe 5, so if you don't have a problem with arthritis these might be the shoes for you.
