I bought these slippers at a shop sometime ago and just loved how comfortable they are. I have a heel and a knee problem and these slippers were amazing to use during my holidays so I got another pair online from Amazon. I think they need a bit of breaking in though :) as I recall, the first times I wore them they were a bit hard but I guess they get the shape of the foot after a while. Also, a real good thing about these slippers is that they wash up very nicely! I got my pink ones really dirty with mud one time but when I washed them they looked "almost" brand new!
