I have had these Gold-Toe slippers in the past, so I ordered same again.  They fo tend to wear out in the seam between the cloth and the outer sole, and eventually form rips. So do others like them. My new Gold Toes are not inferior to the old, and as usual I ordered the size 10-11 to fit my 9-Wide foot as they always tend to run small for me.  I'm a 5'6" female, 195 lbs.  These fit just right as usual, though a little snug with my diabetic (somewhat thick) socks, which, come to think of it, may contribute to the eventual rips.
