After reading other reviews, I am glad that I bought these slippers a size larger. There is just enough room to wear socks. They are very light as well. They don't hang off your feet or flop around when walking. The fuzzy upper is super soft and velveety to the touch. These slippers are definitely for indoor use only. I haven't found the need to wash them yet, so I am not sure how they will hold up after being laundered. This slipper provides some cushion and keeps my feet toasty. Would absolutely purchase another pair. I gave these 4 stars because of the size discrepancy and the fact that the sole of the slipper could use some extra protection if one needs to step outside to grab the paper.
