The price of these casual yet semi-fashionable business slippers made me question the quality and comfort. Most shoes take time to stretch and adjust to your unique walking and physical needs. They were instantly comfortable, great fit, great cushioning and I got compliments straight away. Have worn the shoes for 5 days now, they are still very comfortable but still strong and easy to hold. I chose 1/2 size larger than usual because they are shown without socks and I recommended your actual size. However, knowing that even ankle socks are usually thicker than dress socks, I thought it was better. And I was very satisfied as I usually wear socks. Please note there is a 1/2 size increase if you choose to wear socks. I am now ordering additional colors and other styles. I mean 2 pairs is cheaper than the price of 1.
