These slippers were slighty more expensive but in my opinion you get what you pay for. They seem sturdier than other makes that appear to look the same. They are divinely soft with an arch support so your feet don't feel  like they are on flat boards. They are a gift for my mom as she is having some foot problems. I like the black color as she wears them outside to water the plants sometimes and they won't show the dirt! So comfy. I wear an 8.5 shoe size and the 7.5-8.5 was just perfect. Not to long and not to short at all.
