I have plantar fasciitis and Achilles tendonitis and got these slippers to wear around the house.  I have mixed feelings about them.<br /><br />What I like:  the contour of the foot bed and arch support are great.  The furry material is nice and soft against the skin and the slippers feel well-constructed.<br /><br />What I don't like:  I wish the heel was just a little higher.  I feel like my heel sits really low and my Achilles tendon feels stretched out when wearing them (i.e. hurts).  The style is also very old lady looking and I don't like the Velcro closure.  There's something funky about it and sometimes I feel the Velcro touching my skin and have to undo and redo the closure.<br /><br />I normally wear a 9.5 - 10 women's shoe and I ordered the 9, which fits just right, so these run a little large.
