Husband loves these slippers, very comfy.  But as others have noted, you can slip off the back of the shoe if not careful, so would not recommend for someone not steady on their feet.  Personally, I don't care for house shoes that are this thick between the bottom of my foot and the floor, but hubby has a problem with his toe and needed the open toe and these do the trick for now.  These are good quality, nicely made, worth the money, but would not have purchased this thick-sole style except for the open toe.
