A nice comfortable shoe but I was looking for something with a firmer sole. It does feel like a slipper. I am 65 and have been having slight foot problems and I read that a firm sole will help that. I haven't worn these a great deal yet so I will have to see how my feet feel after wearing them for awhile. I like the fact that they have the Velcro closure so I can easily get my foot in and tighten the shoe. I usually wear a size 9, but based on the reviews I bought a size 9.5. I am glad I did. I think I could have even gone with a 10.
