My husband loves comfort and ease----his old slippers have been taped together five times now!!! and I was desperate to get him something he would wear. No luck--until these slippers came up on the daily deal. He liked the look, so we got them. He wears them inside and outside--loves them!!!! They slip on and off with ease, but are so comfy, he usually leaves them on. The soles have got wonderful treads that don't pick up rocks or stones, yet don't slip on the snow or ice. And the best part is that he loves them so much, I got to burn the old ones ---yeah!!!!
