My wife suffered a severely sprained foot during a visit to relatives over Christmas.  It was severe enough that when she flew home she needed wheelchair assistance at the airport.  My daughter's two-year-old ACORN Tex Mocs were the only thing should could get on her feet, and that was the case for almost 2 weeks after she got home.  She wore them every day right up to when she was finally able to put on shoes and driver her car.  This purchase was to replace my daughter's; to repay the loan.  My wife is still wearing hers in the house, as the most comfortable slippers she's ever had.
