Had to return 2 of these.  Looks great, and I even thought they smelled great (like green tea)!  But had to return because they are SOOOO hard on the feet, even with socks.  Tried for a day but found myself avoiding the hallway where this was a runner so I didn't have to hurt my feet to get across. Save yourself the hassle of returning and get something else.  Great if you keep shoes on in your home, but as a Canadian who wears socks/ bare feet, it wasn't going to cut it!
