I got these slippers about 18 months ago for a present. I like them and they look nice. I can tell you that they are not as comfortable for me as I would like. I have a very high arch in my feet and the shoes are rather flat. As a result if I do a lot of walking in them my feet begin to get sore. I said a lot of walking but really it is just wearing them around the home and going up and down the stairs.<br /><br />They look good but they are not made for long term wear and are really only good for slippers to run to the kitchen and get coffee in the morning. I like the shoes but I would not recommend them to wear outside to get the mail or to make a quick trip to the store. I would rate them as a 5 star for looks but a 3 star for comfort.
