I wasn't sure I wanted to spend this much for slippers but I like a sturdy slipper and this looked like just the thing. I also have very wide feet (a "curse") and a lot of the time I have to buy the smallest sized mens slippers to fit the width. I decided to try the Oasis terry slippers and was very pleased with the quality, sturdiness and comfort of them. I am also a diabetic and they are definitely a comfortable fit. They run true to size ~ when they say extra wide, that's what they mean. They have a sturdy bottom so that you can walk outside and still be comfortable. One day I actually went to the grocery store wearing them and didn't even realize it! Great slippers ~ I'd definitely buy them again ~ but I doubt I'll have to for a long, long time. They're great!
