I bought these for my mother because it's all she wears now. At 84, she's still a big walker, at least three miles every day. The only big disappointment for me is that they sandals are now made in China, and I've been trying to boycott Chinese goods since my cat died of tainted catfood from China. I'd gladly pay more for items made in the U.S.A.; unfortnately, they're becoming much more difficult to find.
