I wanted a sturdy pair of slippers that I could wear indoors as well as outside and I certainly wasn't disappointed with these slippers. I did take note from other Reviewers in respect of the size and I bought a size above my usual size which I found to be slightly on the large side probably could've benefited from a half size above but that hasn't proved a major problem to me. I love the comfy and warm fleecy insides of the slippers which keep my feet really toasty!! I love them and I hope that they last a very long time as I am totally in love with these. how sad am I??????
