These are nice house shoes. Warm and comfy. The reason for the four stars is that like so many slippers they tend to want to roll to the inside. So your foot is kinda resting on the inside of the shoe instead of the sole being flat on the ground. That's the best thing I can come up with to explain it. Maybe it's my feet who knows. But my shoes don't do that. Overall I would recommend these for bumming around the house or making quick trips out.
