Sockwa is all I wear these days...out to dinner, to funerals, to the grocery store, to the beach, walking my dogs, on sidewalks, gravel roads, everywhere. My feet are very deformed from R.A, and even some EEEEE men's shoes are too tight (not to mention it's tough to find size 5 men's). The only way my feet were comfortable was by being barefoot...and then I discovered Sockwa.  I can be barefoot AND have a sole between my feet and the ground. They literally are meant to fit like a glove; my feet can feel where they are going and I find I trip/stumble much less. I cannot recommend these G4's enough. Sockwa also has a lighter weight G8, but I find they stretch out faster and aren't really that much cooler. Sockwas go right in the washer, too.
