I saw all the reviews about ordering a half size up. For me, I usually wear somewhere between an 8.5 and 9 so I ordered the size 9 realizing that it'd be cutting it close based on the reviews. I found they fit almost perfectly but were just a teensy bit too snug. So I put in my cedar shoe stretchers (you really should have these) into the shoe and put them in the freezer to stretch. After they "thawed out" the shoe fit perfectly. As I've worn them they have stretched a bit more. So be careful about ordering too big because this shoe will stretch as you wear it. The back of the shoe rests higher on my ankle than other shoes I've had so it felt a bit rough at first when walking.

They do have the feel of a house slipper and very easy to slip on and off. They have a great look and I'm very happy with my purchase. I'd have given them 5 stars if I didn't have to work with the shoe to get it to fit just right. But I find I often have to do that anyway so it's not really an unusual thing for me to have to do.
