Do not wear these for extended periods (couple hours tops) they are meant to be temporary lifesavers if high heels are killing you. They are elastic around the opening which helps them stay on but it digs into the ankle and cut me up. They don't have any lining on bottom (why you can fold them), so they're almost like walking barefoot.<br /><br />Other than that the pewter color is pretty and the fact that they fit in a purse is great if you need them at the end of a long night.
