I bought them for my elder father he is 100 years old and I used them for two weeks before taking them to his house and setting them up for him to watch TV. Theyre more textured and less soft. Besides this I have had this keyboard for about a month and had zero problems or complaints. He’s rough and breaks them. Interestingly, in Scotland, all of the plug outlets I saw had switches built in, probably to conserve power. After a month it was useless falling off and not sturdy. Once my foot was inside, I can see how these would be a good solid shoe. The fact that they cared enough to do that, gives me hope that not all companies are the same, that I am not just a number, that I am a valued customer. They were rather narrow in the foot but I kept them and they are now very comfortable. So I found these hard rubberized plastic slides.
