I bought these slippers the recommended size based on my shoe size being a 10 1/2 which was a size 11 on the slippers. I tried them on and walked around a bit and both slippers slipped up and down my heel as I walked, so I knew I'd be returning them. Also, there was at least 3/4 inch of room in front of my thumb, which was another sign I was too big. Here's my question: When are slipper manufacturers going to take slippers the same way they do shoes, HALF SIZES? It would make a lot more sense to me and I feel like there would be fewer returns which would result in a happier customer which is really what it's all about.
