Having both my hips replaced with titanium over twenty years ago, walking on hard surfaces for other than a short period of time has been painful ever since.  In the past I've had several pairs of Mootsie Tootsies similar to this pair, but sadly after years of steady use, the wore out and Mootsie Tootsie no longer made them.  I've searched ever since for a similar pair of shoes -- and these are it!  They're supple, so very easy to walk in, cushioned so my walking on hard surfaces is comfortable, and the elastic strapping lets them form perfectly to my narrow feet.  Only problem?  This was the only color they had in my size 8.  Other than that, what's not to like?
