We got tired of buying cheapy slippers as the bottoms always wore out so fast. My husband is now wearing slippers exclusively, even into town. And we live in Hawaii...but he just hates shoes. So these are really really plush and super comfy and he's very happy. Go for it! btw, he wears a size 11 shoe but we have to order size 13 slippers! his big toe was touching the end of the slipper but after a day it was no longer a problem. They run short but are well constructed and quality.
