What customers say:

Customers praise these slippers for comfort, durability, and sturdy non-slip soles suitable for indoor and light outdoor use. However, many report they run large—often requiring sizing down by one or two sizes—with complaints about tight openings and difficulty putting them on. Several note squeaking soles on hard floors. While most who found the right fit consider them well-made and fantastically comfortable for extended wear, sizing inconsistency and lack of half sizes frustrate a substantial portion of reviewers, leading some to avoid future purchases.

Order one size down

Dropping the review by a star because these shoes are not correctly sized. I wear a size 11, which is what I originally purchased. When I tried them on, they fit like a size 12. Ha

Comfortable and good looking slip on shoes but I will have to say no. They squeak when walking. So bad I cannot use them.

Bought these a few weeks ago and very happy with the comfort and wearability. Wish they came in half size though as they run a bit big.
