Over the years I have found myself gravitating towards this type of shoe, a slide-on with an open back, enclosed toe, and a slight ridge behind the heel. I have found several brands/styles that I liked, but most manufacturers (e.g. Born) stop making their styles after a year or two.I eventually found these Naot Bjorn shoes, and they are fantastic - plus Naot keeps making them year after year. They comfortable, durable, fit great, look great, and are available in my size. I wear this type of shoe 95% of the time, because I work from home and live in a temperate climate (South Central Texas) where there's only a few days in the winter where I need to wear actual shoes and socks.It's sort of turned me into a hillbilly, because when I have to wear regular shoes my feet complain quite a bit about being enclosed and cinched up. However, the ease of having these slide-on/slide-off shoes makes it well worth the occasional discomfort when dressing up in 'real' shoes.Bottom line is that I basically live in these shoes, and they are fantastic - highly recommended.
