Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

Let me start off with saying that these do not provide arch support, contain an gel insert, feel good 20 minutes into the Kilimanjaro hike, or make it easy to attach crampons for ice climbing. They probably aren't great for dog sledding. They are slippers. For ~$25. They were warm and held up for quite some time before their untimely and unexpected demise. Be warned that you will be tempted to go to the convenience store, pick up take out food, and attend social functions while wearing these slippers. While I would never judge you on this, a vigilant spouse who hopefully has better fashion sense than I do should stop you at least half of the time. "Are you going out like that?" It isn't worth the fight. Just grab a pair of sneakers. They will make for a happier marriage and people won't think you are as fashion lazy, homebound, and uncaring of others' opinions as I am. I can attest the non-skid surface performs well on wet 7-11 floors in case you slip out of the house without your spouse seeing what you are wearing on your feet. Cons: 1. Izod has not figured out how to create cushion that does not stop cushioning over time - Alas, Izod joins the rank of every piece of expensive and cheap piece of footwear I've ever owned. They cannot stop the effects of friction, pressure, and gravity over time. This is why I cannot recommend the slipper for most sections of the Kilimanjaro climb. They were plenty of comfortable after more than a year of use that I didn't particularly care. 2. Can easily be destroyed by spite - Our functionally blind cat figured out how to urinate in them. This might be a problem specific to my household. When our cat is not getting her preferred food, which changes weekly and with little warning, she finds my clothes, shoes or slippers and urinates in or on them. Though she's blind, she stares straight in my face -hard- while she does it. We have about 2 hours to figure out she wants a new food flavor before this happens, so there is a window, but this requires additional vigilance. After more than a 18 months of hard, work-from-home use, our kitty finally found these slippers. I couldn't reach them in time and she was able to tag one of them. I set them outside to air out. My wife was adamant that I throw them away, but there was no way I was going to do that. I aired them. Once dried, to show her she was overreacting, I put my nose up to the most affected slipper. To my wife's credit, she tried to stop me, but the slipper was already too close to my nose to prevent possible permanent damage to my ability to smell anything else ever and definite emotional damage. These slippers had to be thrown away. I replaced them the next day with the same pair but a different color. I'm trying to switch up my color palette a little.
