For those of us with wide feet, it can be almost impossible to find slippers that fit.  These fit perfectly.  The sole is very sturdy and you could wear them outside.  They are nice and warm.  I did not find them itchy at all and I usually have sensitive skin.  I operate a tax preparation business out of my home and intend to wear these while meeting with clients.  I normally do not wear street shoes in the house, and these will be a perfect compromise.
