Huge fan
I'm disabled and walk with the aid of forearm crutches, but when I'm inside my house, I kick off my shoes, drop the crutches, and carefully shuffle (my entire home is hardwood and tile). I'm careful to keep weight on both feet at all times, so the socks I usually wear when I do this develop holes in less than 2 months. So I bought these to try, hoping to hit that perfect midpoint of the grippy on the bottom not being too strong while still not being too slick.
These are PERFECT for my needs. My feet can shuffle smoothly without ever threatening to slide out from under me. I find them a much safer option than socks.
Despite how abusive the shuffling is on foot coverings, I've had my current pair for 6 months now and they're still in EXCELLENT condition. Any dirt washes right out after a quick trip through the washer.
Best of all, these slippers are the perfect amount of relaxed in the fit and are just soft and cushy enough to prevent additional pain in my feet. My neurological disorder causes pain, burning, and extreme hypersensitivity in my feet. It's about 3 times more painful than diabetic neuropathy, or so my docs tell me. These slippers don't bother my feet at all. They also have never caused issues with my circulation (I have very little blood flow to my legs) or caused irritation to my thin skin.
