i wear these constantly, indoors and out, when it's not too hot (and when i'm not at work). this is my third pair. i love the cozy snuggly comfort. but i dislike the tie on the dakota: it forever needs retying. i tried the men's style without tie, but the vamp extended uncomfortably high on my instep, so i exchanged them for dakotas again. this time, though, they feel a bit too snug, and if you offered width options i'd try them.
