I am about to order my second pair (yes, in an 8 when I normally wear a 9) after wearing my first pair daily for over three years. I can wear these in cold weather with no socks and my feet are warm. I wear them to work, to the beach, take them when I travel and will be walking miles and miles. And of course, you can wear them in the rain. I have tried to incorporate other shoes into my life, but am giving up and realizing there is no point. Boring? Yes! But it's nice to never ever worry about shoes!
