the comment: Let's Play Oblivion Part 12: In Search of Crapy Clothes

Let's Play Oblivion Part This shoe is really beautiful. Really sexy. But not a crazy, overdone shoe. The quality is first-rate, and I say that as a woman who has plenty of pairs of shoes more expensive than these. The fit? I usually wear a 7, and I always have a "period of adjustment," but with these I bought the 7 and they fit perfectly out of the box. They felt fantastic, despite the really high heel. If anything, I would say that there is a bit of "room to move." If you are between sizes but more often than not choose the smaller size, then order the smaller size of these. But hey, it's ! Order two sizes if you like and send back the one that doesn't suit you!

I've been on a mission to find a decent slipper with foot support, comfort, and proper sizing. I usually get the super cheap Chandra i think its called, from a store with a red bullseye but oddly, they think people only wear slippers at Christmas so if yours wear out, you have to wait until November for your size to be widely available (7-7.5). These are almost the same shoe, with the same strong support and bottom, same cushioned feel, good looking and accurate sizing- at 3x's the sale price of the Chandra ($8). The sole is not as thick as the Chandra but it doesn't seem to effect the support quality so it's okay. But my feet have been killing me from my old slippers having no more support left so I couldn't wait any longer.Bought a size 7 (I get the other in 7.5) - these fit perfectly except I would rather have the half size bigger for my thick furry socks. But they still can be worn with my socks so it works just fine. Accurate sizing matters - I tried Isotoner in a 7.5-8 and my foot hung off the back and the regular was so narrow, there was no fitting it with anything but a bare foot and then they were still much too short, not anywhere close to what is considered "standard" 7-7.5 much less 7.5-8 which should be too big on my 7 foot. So sizing should give them a bonus star for being a size that I typically would wear in any shoe. THANK YOU for not wasting my money on a huge size 7 or a tiny tiny size 7!Accurate sizingStrong supportRubber sole - stiff with cushioned footbedVery comfortableGood LookingCONS:No half sizes availablePrice - it hurts to spend $30 on a slipper when I usually spend $8, $12 if I can't wait for a sale, like now.

Let's Play Oblivion Part I am so disappointed with these socks, they were worn with Keen shoes one day only. By the end of the day they turned out to be totally ripped with threads out.
