I just pulled these out of the box yesterday and the moment I held them I knew they were made to a higher standard than most slippers. These things are amazing! They are a little tight because they are new but I know they will break in very nicely. I especially like that the inserts come out and can be washed. I can already tell that these will be on my feet all the time while I am at home and I know they will last me a long time.
