The most wonderful slippers!!!! I had almost given up on my search!!!!
ok.....so my hopes were already dashed to pieces for the last couple of years because my previous slippers were washed by an enthusiastic laundress in my awful washer (another horrible story for another time that involves 19 repair calls for the brand new washer)....and trying to find a new pair of slippers has been awful....full of returns and exhaustion. I would by a pair of slippers that looked like they would fit the bill....then once I received them could not wait to get them off of my foot -- they would drive me crazy and that would be for the 30 seconds I would wear them. RETURN Then I would find something in person (back in the day when you would be able to shop in person without worrying) and think...."ok...they lasted longer than 30 seconds....I think I may have found success" -- only to get them home, wear them for less than 30 minutes and my feet would be drenched -- the weirdest thing -- and a bit gross. RETURN So I was already prepared to be disappointed.....but the bar was still quite high....because I have memories!!!!! Then, I saw these and thought "wait a second.....I might be on to something here”....I even showed my Mom (also a slipper connoisseur - she is where I learned it :) ). We thought...."Do we dare hope? They look like what we’ve been wanting.... No.., it seems too good to be true.” We were more than tired of being disappointed. Just warm, dry, easy ... that’s all — they are just to wear around the house (although during the pandemic we are are home so much more). She had been searching (notice the past tense? 😊) for new slippers even longer than I have....trust me....we have gone through several tries. And that was before I decided we should return the ones that were awful. We are so easy to please ——just the slippers seemed to elude us. We have looked at all price points. The struggle is real. We thought we would take a chance. We did it. Oh my goodness, they are still on my feet as I type this! They are wonderful! I normally wear a 9 wide (well, after chemo it is a 9.5 but 10’s feel even better (my feet are still changing if after chemo) but my feet hurt so much from the chemo induced neuropathy I bought an 11 for myself (my feet hurt so bad that I can't wear shoes right now...in fact I have been wearing extra large sandals for the last year because even wearing a loose sock hurts my feet). My Mom wears an 8.5 - 9 (she has extra wide feet — not just wide— but extra wide— so I bought her size 10 -- they fit perfect.) Not only do they fit good....they are easy to put on....you don't even have to reach down to do put them on! You can actually step into them easily when the cuff is rolled down! (Note, the first time I put them on, I used a shoe horn because I was willing to battle it like I’ve had to testing other slippers......it was really funny because I didn't need it! And the second time I put them on I knew that I would be just fine stepping into them. You can roll the cuff down --- this is great to help me stay a tiny bit cooler with a chemo hot flash -- or roll them up and keep your ankles warm. I thought I wouldn’t be able to wear them through the unending burning sensation! I am so thankful!!! The memory foam is firmer than I thought it would be -- so it is perfect -- I hate "walking on a pillow feeling". I need to know where the floor is. they are comfortable, breathable, they do not smell at all (ordered the black and the chestnut — I thought maybe the dye would smell after reading the review — but neither smell at all — I think making sure your feet are always clean before putting them on is a help), they are warm, and my feet do not sweat in them -- They are my new slippers. I liked them so much that I turned around and bought 3 extra pairs each for my Mom and myself. As my Mom has sweaty feet sometimes, I thought it would be nice to have a pair that you wear one day while the other dries out....and alternate back and forth. So far, I have been too lazy to put on the other pair.....they do any drying that they need to do overnight (not that they need to -- it just really works great) - but I agree with the other review — it would be nice to have a removable foot bed. I’ve had these for several weeks, wearing them constantly— I’m not usually a review poster, but I just had to say something this time. If you don’t want them, get them for your Mom or sister. If you want slippers that have no back to them — go to Costco and get the shearling slippers. We like these 1000% (one thousand, complete) better — but I thought I would share what got me by for a couple of years but still left me hunting. Seriously, these slippers are awesome. I almost didn’t want to say how good they were because I didn’t want a sell out. Read more
