I bought these for my husband so that he would have warm soft slippers. It was important that he be able to put them on and off easily with feet that swell at times due to medications. It was also very important that he be able to wear them outside and on tile floors without fear of slipping. These fulfill all requirements and are good looking also. Funny how such a mundane item can make such a difference and be so appreciated! They definitely were a big hit with him. Needless to say a terrific price compared to other sites.
