These would have been perfect for my husband, but they only come in whole sizes. I bought a 10, which was too big, and a 9 would have been too small. Why they label these as "therapeutic" is beyond me. We tell our diabetic patients to make sure that all footwear fits properly and isn't too tight or too loose. That includes footwear meant to be worn in the house. When my husband walked around in them (not diabetic, but has wide feet), his heel slipped up and down in the back, despite wearing heavy athletic socks. It felt very unsafe to him, especially going up and down stairs. So I had to return them.

These are very sturdy slippers, nice and wide, and the bottoms are sturdy enough that you could run out to the mailbox while wearing them. Assuming they fit properly. I would have gladly bought several more pairs, even at $60 a pair, if they had fit my husband.

Bottom line: If you are normally a half shoe size, or you don't mind slipping out the back of them, these are very nice slippers. If you need them to fit properly and you are a half size, then you may not want them. It doesn't hurt to try them, of course.

Dr. Comfort, you need to make these "therapeutic" slippers in whole AND half sizes, so that they fit properly.
