I needed warm slippers with padded bottoms to walk around comfortably on my tile floors in the winter.  I'd looked everywhere and always found that even though the slippers were warm at the tops of my feet, they never had enough padding to make them warm on the bottom. These slippers work beautifully.  They keep my feet warm all around and they have rubber outdoor soles so they're like wearing shoes, but of course more comfortable.  I'm really happy with my purchase. There were several reviews that said they run small.  I ordered them in a size 6.  I wear 6 or 6 1/2, depending on the style.  At first I was very upset because I loved them so much, but they were too snug and my big toe felt like it was curling up, but I kept them and wore them for a while and now they're just fine. They were definitely worth it for me.
