I bought these as a gift for a friend around Christmas. I know how tricky it can be to by clothes/shoes online so I stressed for him to let me know if they needed to be returned/exchanged. This is someone I see often and I've asked about the slippers and he says they fit great and he likes them. :) When I received them they did seem well built-actually more of a house shoe than a slipper so keep that in mind if you are looking for something more cozy. These have a very firm bottom which makes them good for walking outside in which is what my friend uses them for (to take out the trash and such) ,but they do make the slipper heavier where you might not want to lay in bed with them. I give them 4 stars then since they are very nice but I think they should be called "house shoes" as opposed to slippers.
