I like the soles on these, thick and with plenty of padding that even if you wear them out of the house... even on rocks, you won't hurt your feet. The length though was smaller than I expected. I don't wear socks, so maybe if I did I wouldn't be able to wear them... I've already flattened the fleece lip in the back down simply by walking. I wear an 11 in women and I'd say these were meant more for 9.5 to 10 US standard size. Also what I found strange was that these ran really wide. I have a wide foot to begin with and they are loose on me. Which is great because my feet swell but once again going back to the size... unless someone is wearing thick socks these might be too loose to wear around the house without sending them flying across the room. The price is excellent though and they are comfy, you really can't go wrong there.
