I purchased these looking for house slippers to wear inside and out to garage from time to time (we have second fridge in garage) the garage flood is SUPER cold during the winter. They fit just fine and are comfy. Only annoying thing is the strings don't stay tied. I just let them flop and trimmed them a bit. I had a similar slipper from Target and he strings did this too . I bought 8.5-9 and they are loose , stay on when I walk. I normally wear 8.5 running shoe
