I fell in love with these slippers the moment I pulled them out of the box! First, I had no idea how incredibly SOFT the 'fur' part would be. I can't stop stroking the cuff around my ankles, lol. I was also pleasantly surprised to learn that some of the proceeds from this product go to animal shelters. As an owner of multiple shelter dogs, I highly approve!But more importantly, these are the perfect blend of comfort and support. I have pain that's like arthritis (but not), and occasional bouts of plantar fasciitis. And I got so tired of buying cheap 'memory foam' slippers in the retail stores that had to be replaced every year or two, after the foam went flat. My last pair was so flat it felt like I was walking on concrete (ouch!). So I took a chance on a pricier slipper, and absolutely LOVE these.I feel like these are well balanced between durability and comfort. The foam is fairly dense, but after a few days of wearing them 8-10 hours a day, it definitely starts conforming to your foot shape. And it's so thick that it should last for years before even starting to go flat! The outer rubber soles seem pretty durable too, like a super comfy house shoe. I haven't been out in the snow with them yet, but I think they'd work great for bringing the trash out or grabbing the mail.They seem true-to-size, although they are a little snug for the first few days, especially across the toe 'knuckles.' But that loosens up fairly quickly and conforms to your foot shape. I always order slippers 2 sizes up so I can wear thick socks inside (we live in Wyoming and it gets COLD!), and these work great for that.This is the first pair of slippers I've owned that my feet prefer above all other footwear (and I own some incredibly comfortable boots). Definitely a five-star purchase!
