I ordered a 10W for my 93 year old father to replace his scruffy peep toe velcro slippers. These new ones seem to do the job and are comfortable on his swollen feet (his normal size is a 10). However, since I live out of town, I was only able to watch him in these slippers for one day. I will say they are heavy - he wanted them to be removed when he is sitting - and they will definitely work like a shoe.
