I bought these for my husband on the recommendation of my son-in-law who wears these all the time and loves them.  At first they were so different that my husband did not "get them", but as time went by he became more and more happy with him.  He used to always take his shoes off while relaxing, but these are so comfortable he wears them all the time.  Whenever our family gets together, most of the guys (including the younger ones) are wearing these shoes.
