I purchased these slippers because of the durable bottom, and Sorel brand name- I have a couple Sorel winter boots that have lasted me upwards of 10 years. These slippers are built to last which is perfect for me, an avid slipper wearer! I will say one thing- they are not the cushie slippers they appear to be. Definitely more of a shoe. I like them!

Ordered the 9.5, wear a 9 usually. Plenty of room, could have gone with my normal size.
