These slippers were greeted with delight by my wife (Dec 2011). In the fall/winter her feet are like blocks of ice! She puts these microwavable slippers in the microwave for 1 minute and walah - she gets in bed (DONT walk in these slippers, they are NOT designed for walking around in - you WILL ruin them)... Once in bed and these are on her feet, she is in heaven! Falls asleep with them on and they stay warm for quite some time. She uses them on the couch or recliner while watching tv too.

I can not say it enough - DONT walk in them. My wife did this and only a few times. She had to sew up a tiny hole that developed from walking in them. Tiny beads were falling out in the bed!! No Good, but it was her own fault!

Great lavender smell as well!!!
