I love these sock slippers. They couldn't be more comfortable. When you look at their picture, all you see is the cable knit but that's not all there is to them. As if that weren't enough, they are lined with the softest material and, since, I got them, I've been wearing them everyday. If you're looking for perfection in how they're made, then go ahead and pay through the nose, like all things. But where it counts, I don't think they can be made any better for the price. I hope they're around awhile because I will probably be buying them again.
