Warm, flexible, & roomy.
I purchased these booties for my handicap sister who is wheelchair-bound. Because of the shape of her feet and her immobility, it is very hard to find shoes for her and we struggle to keep her feet warm in the winter. Normally we would just double up on thick/fuzzy socks, but I wasn’t comfortable with that because I still feel like her feet still needed more protection and warmth. These slippers are perfect for her.The first thing you should know is that they do run quite large. My sister’s feet are about 8in long heel to toe, and about 4in wide. She also has quite a significant curved arch as well. Originally we ordered a size medium, but they proved to be way too big for her. We had to send them back and order the next smaller size.The material is thick, soft, and warm fleece. The rubber souls are flexible and quite thin so I would not recommend wearing thrse slippers outside by any means, not only because they would get wet, but also I don’t believe they would offer enough protection when walking on the pavement or other services outside. But, if you’re planning to wear them just around the house, they do provide some traction to prevent slipping and they would work just fine I believe. Since the person we bought these for is wheelchair bound and completely immobile, the durability/versatility of the soles are not a concern for us. I do like that they are soft and pliable which I believe would not create bed sores or other problems on your feet. There are no tight/narrow elastics or seams anywhere on the slipper. I also like that these slippers are very wide and open so they are easy to put on. They would be great for anyone with wide, curved, swollen, or misshapen feet. Roomy enough to wear with 1-2 pairs of thick socks, which I would recommend doing if you would be wearing them outside. They would not be warm enough to wear by themselves outdoors. The Velcro flap is very convenient for securing a snug fit. Colors are true to their pictures in the online description. Overall we’re very happy with the look and feel of these slippers. We may order another pair in a different color.

How they fit
I like these and the brand I’ve probably bought about four of these the only thing I dislike is I think they should come in more colors I only see them come in black navy,blue, purple and pink. I think there should be more colors.There’s not a whole lot of colors to pick from. The size I got fits good.

Don’t try to walk in these slippers!
These slippers are very soft, which is a comfort for my very sore feet. However, the inner seams are very evident and irritate my extremely sensitive (edema) skin. They don’t have any support and so my feet slide around in them, putting me at great risk of falling!! The sole is narrow, and higher in the middle than on the sides, so I immediately slid off of it, leaving me walking partially on the sides of the slippers! This company claims to be a specialist in products for people with serious leg and foot problems. Their prices are sky-high to match their claims. I bought two styles of their products and both are a total waste of my money! As I was ill when they arrived, I was unable to try them out until the return window had closed. I spent what is (for me) a lot of money for nothing. Beyond disappointed!

Run large, but very warm
These were warm, soft, and wonderful for my mother in law. She loved them and they definitely solved the issue of cold feet. I did size down, but they were still a little large on her. She was bedridden so it was not a big issue for her, but might be more troublesome to someone more mobile. These would definitely be nice for someone who has issues with swollen feet as they definitely allow room and the Velcro allows some adjustment. Great purchase for us!

Size was too large.
Lovely and soft, I take a size nine shoe so I ordered the large slippers which slip off my feet. I had worn them for a few hours and consequently did not return the slippers as the soles were a bit soiled. They were too expensive for me to buy another pair. I like the design .

They work best for very swollen feet/ankles
My elderly mother suffers from very swollen feet and ankles, and the slippers she was wearing caused a deep indentation where the binding met the top of her foot. When I first received these, I thought they were going to be too big on her–they looked HUGE! But when we tried them, they fit her perfectly and better still, they didn’t bind her foot or ankle at any point. Her one foot is less swollen than the other, so the Velcro closures make it possible to adjust the fit accordingly. I deducted points because they’re so big and bulky, especially with the flap. When she first started wearing them, she said they felt clumsy on her feet, like they were going to make her trip, especially going up and down the stairs. She had been wearing slippers that were more streamlined and structured, like regular shoes, so this style (big, soft bootie) felt very different to her and required some adjustment. It took several days for her to get used to them, but now she gets around in them just fine. I also think they’re expensive for an unstructured bootie, but other slippers we’d tried previously didn’t work, so this was the only option that fit her. Hopefully, they’ll hold up. I recommend them if comfort and functionality are more important to you than style and price.

sizes do not run true
I have gotten these slippers several times in the past. This last time, I bought 2 pair of the same style, but different colors. Both were labeled on the sole as size “L”. However, one pair’s sole was 1 1/4″ shorter than the other. This has happened to me before with this same style. They seem to label everything Large, even if it is a medium. Otherwise, they are a good product.

As a long term diabetic I was faced with needing a shoe/slipper for my foot while a heel wound was recovering. Because my leg and foot were wrapped in Coban wrap, my shoe was too tight to wear. I ordered these slippers and was able to protect my foot until the wound healed. The slipper was both warm and comfortable to wear. The order was processed quickly and arrived a week earlier than expected. Thanks to this seller.

This was a gift for an elderly senior. Easy on & off, plus the sole velcro fastener makes it easy to fasten. Buy with confidence.

These slippers work great for my mom!! She needed slippers that were easy to put on and take off but that were secured enough when on, that there was no risk of her slipping or tripping on them!

Buyer beware. When you will buy these they will probably be too large, if you don’t like them you can return them but will have to pay for return shipping and you will not be reimbursed for the shipping cost, so in the end it costs you money if you don’t like them.
