Not your ordinary house slipper
For me, these are really more of a house "shoe" than a "slipper." I have a more narrow foot, so I need both of the inserts and the arch support to make these fit well. With that said, now I will need to wear a sock with my "slippers", which is working in the winter months. They are great if you need to step outside and they look more formal than a typical house "slipper", so you can wear down to the mail box, for example, without looking like you just rolled out of bed. Because I work
from home, they give me the support I wouldn't otherwise have with a typical house "slipper". I did order down 1/2 size. Not sure if that is just this particular style, but my reg size was too big and I returned for a smaller size. The hands-free slip-on feature is nice!
