I went from socks to crocs, to Hey Dude, to these. I’ve been wearing the Maloa’s for 3yrs (about 4 days a week) and they feel better than my Brooks. The dude at Daprimas told me they were as close to a custom made shoe as you can get. I’ve only been wearing the “slippers” a month when I see 1/2 off …. Ordered the wife and me another pair. Definitely a difference between the slippers and the Maloa with the pressure point tread.How is cushion on the sole? I have high arches that are falling and as soon as I get home, I put on Uggs or Crocs for comfort. Thanks
