For years these have been my number one choice of house slipper because they sort of feel like a slipper and a shoe at the same time. Soft and cozy, yet supportive and sturdy. I tend to be hard on slippers and wear them through in 6 months, but for most people this style lasts for about a year. The “doggy” is juvenile-looking but I don’t care. I love dogs and I love these slippers. They make my feet and my heart happy.
