This was a Christmas gift to my husband.  We didn't open gifts until the day after Christmas.  He was on his way to church when I thought to myself that he might like to wear them to church.  Sure enough, he opened the gift before going to church and sure enough, he put them on and pranced around the room.  He said they were very very comfortable.  I told him that they looked like Star Trek boots.  His response was - "OK Lord -  Beam me up!!!"
