They don't come in a box, but they were delivered, I got them out of the package, and slid them on. No rubbing, no chafing, very comfortable. The "massage" dots are pretty gentle, not as forceful as other massage slides. I am usually a size 8 and sometimes 8.5 because I have a wide forefoot and high instep, and a bunion on my right foot. these don't pinch at all, so far, and my foot doesn't shift around when walking. I would definitely buy again, and my husband liked how they looked and bought a pair himself.
