It's always a little bit of a risk ordering shoes on-line.  (My husband thinks I'm crazy.) But these are very comfortable shoes! And they look great.  They really do feel like wearing slippers.  Being a vegetarian I'm grateful that they are all man-made materials.  And I like the price.  They do seem to run true to size.  Some people who reviewed them said they had a funny smell, but I haven't had that problem.  (I was also happily surprised that the company that makes them, Tev, reinvests some of their profits for an environmental cause.) Having said all that, they're not very supportive, so if you're looking for a walking shoe, this may not be it -- at least for long or strenuous walks. I've only had them a week, but they already feel like "old friends".  Hoping to get another pair for Christmas!
