I bought these slippers, even though I am a woman, because I was having trouble finding a decent women's slipper. I wanted something that wasn't a clog, and that had good support. These fit the bill. They are solidly constructed and very comfortable. And the soles are thick; you can easily take the trash outside while wearing them and it won't degrade their quality. I spent twice as much for Land's End slippers that didn't have much support nor hold up at all. Just make sure that if you are a woman and order these that you find out what the comparable men's size is for your size - they are not the same.
