No surprises - very presentable house slippers
I like to wear some kind of slippers in the house and over the years have had an assortment of either very practical but not pretty or very cushiony or very furry or whatever. Now I was on the hunt for something that actually looked pretty & presentable; read: even if I was more dressed that in mere sweatpants and a dingy t-shirt.<br /><br />While ordering shoes online is perhaps not the best practice, using the cm chart will give the best result. Saying "I'm always a US 8" really means nothing; if you measure say 25.5 cm in the seller's chart and use that to order you have a reasonable chance of getting it right. My slippers were the right size, just sayin'.<br /><br />I came across these Moroccan slippers and viewed all the variations in design and color but ended up choosing the ones that first came up. The teal color goes with just about anything and the square toe is actually comfortable and looks attractive. There is a bit of retro vibe in these slippers. If you expect cushioning, these are not for you. They are not hard like walking on pavement but more like walking on cork: a little give but solid. You cannot sneak up on someone because the shoes will make squeaky sounds but I think those will diminish with time as your foot and the shoe get to know each other.<br /><br />Note that the sole is leather so it doesn't have the same kind of traction that rubber soles give. Keep this in mind if you have just cleaned your tile floor. You could find yourself kissing the tiles in no time.<br /><br />I've had these slippers about 2 weeks now and am very happy with the purchase.
