I was a bit apprehensive to purchase these (even with the "oooh neat!" the imagery on them elicited) at the price - I mean, they're JUST slippers. Well, I am more than satisfied with this purchase, would buy them again, & would recommend purchasing this type of slipper to anyone I know. They fit my feet perfectly (my feet are flat, if that matters to anyone entertaining this purchase) & are beyond comfortable. Being wool, they keep my feet incredibly warm when it's cold but do not cause any itching or discomfort at all, even with your feet bare against them (they also do not seem to overheat my feet in the warmer weather). High quality made & definitely worth the money.

UPDATE: As of August 2013 (I bought these slippers on Amazon in February of 2012), one of these slippers have a hole where my big toe sometimes touches the front. I have worn these every evening since receiving them.
