when i read that. i hate to sweep and with my new dog, cooper, shedding everywhere, it’s getting to the point that i have to sweep daily. well, they were only about $5.00, so i bought them and i’m trying them out to see if they work!! they’re actually kind of comfortable, too! the other nice thing about them is that the sweeper part is velcroed on to the bottom of the slipper, so after a day of walking around my house cleaning, i can just remove the slipper sweeper part and throw it in the washing machine. i sure hope this works. i will never sweep again if it
