I rarely write reviews,  but these shoes/slippers are exactly what I needed while I recover from Acute Kidney Failure-I never know how much room I'll need in my shoes,  and had to rely on house slippers that were dangerous and flimsy.
If you have severe swelling in your feet and need a shoe you can wear outside to doctor appt or shopping,  this is an excellent choice.
I normally wear size 11 but ordered the size 12 to accommodate for the swelling.  They are roomy and on the large side,  but I think 11 would have been too small.  The color is a dusty rose and not at all "bright" so I didn't feel self conscious wearing them to my doctor appt and came back to order another pair in navy blue.
Well worth the investment-am so glad I took a chance on these.
Soles are like regular shoes-very sturdy.
