I purchased these slippers after a very painful plantar fasciitis flare up.  The sales clerk seemed very knowledgeable and advised that I not go barefoot around the house.  Initially these slippers were very comfortable.  Having hard tile floors, these were a dream for the first 2 days.  It didn't take long before the cushion in the footbed started to seriously mold to my foot.  At first, I thought this was great until on day 3 it felt as though there was no cushion between my tile floor and my painful heel.  When I returned them today, the store manager said that these slippers are meant for light wear and not meant to withstand a lot of walking on hard surfaces.  I'm disappointed because they were very comfortable, warm and cute but if they don't last, what's the point?
