I have problems with my feet due complications developing following a birth defect and surgery.  As I got older my feet have swelled from 7-7 1/2 Wto size 10 WW.  Although not diabetic, I have neuropathy-type symptoms, painful feet and can not have constriction at all. I have flat feet so can not wear open back footwear because my feet will fall right out of them. Due to all of these problems I have to be very particular about shoes, and even slippers, which means I usually have to buy pricey brands to get the features and the quality I need.  These slippers fit well and are comfortable. They are machine wash and dry. I've done that 3 times now and they remain in good condition.  Because they are heavy, I have to put them through 2 high heat drying cycles-about 2 hours to dry thoroughly. Thankfully, they are just what I needed. I will probably buy these again.  I The only complaints I have are one that is minor and one that bothers me. For the price, I would like to have been able to get the color I wanted (cream/ivory), but they were out of stock. Maybe next time. I guess I'm okay with the pink now that I have them.  The 2nd complaint-the price.  I think $46.00 is way too high a price to pay for slippers, even though they are nice, well-constructed, and suit my needs. I don't think they need to be so expensive for the company to still make a decent profit. I do like them very much and am happy to have them.  I recommend them to anyone who has foot problems and similar issues to mine.
