I love these, but... they are NOT my idea of a "slipper".  These are not easy on like I expect of a slipper, and have a hard outdoor type of sole (bottom of shoe).  I guess I could compromise and call these an indoor / outdoor "house shoe".  However, these are great as a casual shoe.  They feel good on your feet, and easy enough to pull on.  I would suggest ordering 1/2 size up, for better comfort, if you will wear socks, and for easier fit.  Otherwise true to size.  (I am normally an 8, and ordered an 8.5 in these... fit great and room for wool socks).  I would never ever wear these as slippers (1 star),  much less with bare feet (just me).  I will wear them as kicking around shoes (5 stars) for running errands - and yes, around the house (...but they are not slippers in my opinion).  My son tried mine on, and asked for a pair.  I ordered a youth pair for my son in red, and he loves them too - as shoes!
