These shoes are amazing! I was looking for a pair of shoes that would keep my feet warn and hold up in Afghnistan during the winter. This is my third time in the middle east and I wish I had known about these before. I have used the memory foam slippers before but I found that the soles never held up. These are PERFECT! Because of the way the living quarters are set up here, I have to walk about 100 meters to and from the bathroom every time I shower, use the restroom, and conduct personal hygene. With the way the terrain is out here (sharp rocks, dust/dirt, mud when it rains), it is really hard to find warm, comfortable, slip on shoes with soles that are thick and surdy enough that I don't feel sharp rock hurting my feet. On top of that, they don't slip off if I have to run to get out of the rain. I normally wear a size 7.5 in US sizes but I ordered half a size up after reading the reviews. These shoes are amazing and I definitely recommend them to anyone that is in need of comfort around the house. They can take a beating.
