They feel cheap. I fly quite a bit, and nothing is more annoying that seeing peoples devices flashing different colors. The metaphors are a stretch, especially all of the food comparisons. With gentle care, I expect these to last several years for me. Theyre comfortable (still a bit sweaty in hot weather), and durable. I have them in my closet underneath my clothes. Dont buy renewed! But a week went by and i kept falling for them. They are fluffy to keep the feet warm and also chic in design to not look like the old fashioned granny slippers. But ultimately has so many other flaws its not worth it.
