Agree with all prior positive reviews. My only issue is that you can't just slip your foot into them because of the elastic around the top opening which is what keeps them snugly on. Must bend down and while holding the top of the heel area (or top of both sides), insert toes all the way forward and then pull over the rest of the foot.  Same with taking them off. I wear a size 8,sometimes 8 1/2. The 8/9 has my toes all the way to the front; however the extra width does provide good toe wiggle room.
