My Doggo LOVES!!
Size: 3 Ounce (Pack of 1)
When I opened the bag, and left the little extra paper thingy that comes off after the bag is ripped open on the floor, he immediately went for it and licked it and took it to his bed. I’d like to say that he REALLY likes these. Definitely will be purchasing again. The only thing I don’t love about these is the smell, it smells pretty awful, but they’re dog treats, so I’m not expecting it to smell like roses.

Enables the person to move around while wearing.
These silicon socks look a bit odd at first glance but they work great and best of all, any lotions and oily creams are contained on the inside so you can walk around. They are very soft. I haven't had them long so I can't comment on durability, but they are not made of lightweight material.

Does the job but dangerous to walk with!
Does the job but dangerous to walk with: foot is sliding inside the sock if the foot was treated with cream or lotion prior. It is uncomfortable to sleep with but a necessary hurdle to heal your heels!
