The sequins are the first thing that attracted me to this house shoe. I need a substantial sole in a shoe and this one is good.  It's a very comfortable shoe.  I usually wear a 7 1/2 or 8 in regular shoes but needed a 9-10 in this house shoe.  I ordered the 7-8 but it was just a little too snug.  My daughter tried them on and loved them.  She wears a 7 1/2 and they fit her fine.
