I don't want tight slippers...the point is comfort. I love how these are larger than I expected because there is no restriction anywhere on my feet..the elastic ring around the top doesn't dig into my skin at all. The foot bed of these are GREAT. thick enough I can feel the padding but they still bend and curl with my feet so perfect for hanging out on the couch. I hate a slipper with a bottom that is too stiff... if you sit cross legged it's uncomfortable..not these! They're like fluffy soft ballet slippers. They're warm too but not so bad I can't wear them on my porch in Florida. Will be ordering a few more pairs because I know I'll wear them out.. OH and I don't slip and risk life and limb on my tile floors but they're not so slip proof that I can't walk on the tile either! Perfect.
