I bought these to wear as slippers after reading the reviews. I have trouble standing without pain on the ball of my left foot, due to an injury a few years ago. These shoes are incredibly comfy, and I can stand in the kitchen, walk around the house, or sit in comfort with warm feet. They fit my feet perfectly and give excellent support. I wear an 8, and the 8 fit exactly right. I got them in black and would like to have the brown as well, but they are out of them in my size so I hope more will become available.
