When I got these slippers I thought there had to be some mistake. I ordered a 9W and they didn't seem wide at all. The tag said "9" (no W) and I thought they must have accidentally put a pair of regular width in a wide-width box, so I returned them. I still needed to get my mom a Christmas gift so I ordered another pair of 9W direct from Minnetonka, where I figured they would not be as likely to make an error. And when the box came, indeed the shoes were labeled exactly the same "9" and the shoes were just as narrow as the previous set. I cannot imagine what their "normal" width is like.

The attached photo compares my LLBean (size 8) regular width slippers with the Minnetonka 9 "wide" :/

3 stars for being what appears to be a well made product, I guess you just need to have hockey sticks for feet ...
