I felt crazy paying this much money for slippers.  However, with my feet problems thought they could possibly be worth it.  One foot has been surgically reconstructured and the other needs it, but I cannot again go through foot surgery.  I have extreme ball of the foot and toe pain due to being a toe walker until the age of 45.  I also have high arches and plantar fasciitis.  The slippers were okay, but not good enough to justify the money.  I returned them and decided to use my Merrell Encore Ice shoes as slippers too.
