If you want cute cheap slippers, then buy these. If you want good sturdy boots, look elsewhere. They do have cheap bottoms, aren't great quality, run small, and have no arch support, but the color, purple, is adorable, and I would keep them just for that (and keeping my feet warm in the house). Mine will be going back, however, because as I took them out of the box, part of one boot was unraveling. This is definitely a case of "you get what you pay for."
