Adore these slippers!  They are soft, gorgeous, and fit like a glove
I have two pairs of these slippers, both purchased from the seller before they were on Amazon.  I have had one pair for 8 years and the second for more like 5 years.  I absolutely love these slippers and wear them all the time inside the house.  The leather is buttery soft and they fit like a glove.  I can wear them with or without  socks.  I bought my first pair originally in Istanbul  directly from the seller.  Those slippers  have gotten a lot of positive comments from friends and family, but so far I've had to tell my friends that there wasn't an easy way to get them from the US.  They will be happy to find this option!  I love that they are handmade and that buying them supports Turkish artisans.  (P.S. the prices are slightly lower here even with shipping than they were when I bought mine years ago, so this is a great deal).<br /><br />These are definitely indoor slippers, because the soles are lightweight soft leather, so they aren't designed to be worn on pavement.  Probably the best comparison slipper I've found is jazz shoes - these fit like jazz shoes but without the two part sole.  I was able to see the Whirling Dervishes when I was in Istanbul and these are very similar to the ones worn by the dervishes themselves, so they are also a special memory to me.  I like that the slippers add some warmth without bulk, and the leather soles are just tacky enough to prevent me from slipping on hardwood floors (unlike socks), but not so tacky that they trip me up (like non-slip socks do).  I've already got two pairs, so I'm all set, but seeing them here makes me sorely tempted to buy another pair!
