Naturally, these aren't something I wear out and around for the most part.  I bought these to serve two purposes:

1. Comfy "around the house" wear because my doctor told me my foot pain was being caused by going barefoot too frequently.
2. Travel shoes that I could get on and off quickly at airport security or kick off on the plane to let my feet stay dry.

For the above, these are meeting my needs nicely.  Hindsight being twenty-twenty, I'd probably NOT have bought the closed-toe version...  but alas.  Live and learn.  They're still good for my purposes.
