My eldest daughter sent these to me for a birthday gift recently and let me tell you they are the best things this side of Godiva chocolates.  These shoes are warm and comfy beyond belief.  I have quite a few medical problems one of which is a bad back and it's hard for me walking any distances with the shoes they have out there.  You never know what how they are going to react no matter what people say.  I found these let me do my grocery shopping pain free.  I can really understand why nurses love to wear crocs now during their shifts.  These are a nessicity for those who need help with posture and for those who have feet that ache or get cold easily.  Oh the small joys of life.
