These slippers appear to be very well made; however, they are at least two sizes smaller than I expected.  My husband usually wears a 10.5 US, so I ordered an 11.0 US to give a loose fit while he wears them around the house.  When they arrived, I just wrapped them for Christmas.  Christmas morning, we discovered that they do not go easily onto his foot.  They don't go very easily over my foot and I wear an 8 US 39 European.  So, if you need a really well made slipper, these are great - just order a much bigger size than you normally wear.  I'm back here ordering a bigger size slipper.
