Bought it for my mom. Initially you find it difficult to wear.. you surely need a chair to put on the shoes. But after regular use, the elastics become free and hence you can easily put them on. Another highlight I noticed about these kicks were, the material takes the shape of your feet, like if it was just made for you! Two things to keep in mind, Order the correct size, and in the beginning you have to struggle a bit to put them on.
