If you've ever seen the reach with Sam Elliott and Ashton Kutcher you'll understand. These shoes hit me like the ugz that Beau got his dad for Christmas. I didn't want to like them. I thought they were goofy and more of a slipper. But, oh buddy. I was so so very wrong. Once I snuck them on my feet at the local outdoor store. Bam. I didn't want to take them off. I wear them about everywhere I go. I will say that I wouldn't wear them to an amusement park or the zoo. But anything less than that you're definitely going to love them. I wish the back wouldn't collapse and was easier to slip on. They are easy enough to clean. I just wash them with my jeans or towels. I've had mine for only a few months, but I plan on buying more in the future. I'll have a whole arsenal of them lined up in the closet.
