Got a pair for my wife after knee joint replacement. Her feet were swollen. She can get them on. Slipper combats Minnesota winter cold. Able to allow going outdoors in ice and snow. Who would have thought that Los Angeles inhabitants would understand?I was a little disappointed that the Velcro only opens from the outside to the middle. The flap is stitched from the inside to half-way across. This means that it is no help for swollen bunions. Other than that, it is a comfortable slipper with firm base, so you can go out and get the mail without having to change shoes.I AM SO IMPRESSED WITH YOUR CUSTOMER LOYALTY. THAT'S WHY I DIDN'T GIVE A REVIEW. I BOUGHT THESE SLIPPERS FOR AN AUNT WHO'S VERY SICK. THESE SLIPPERS WERE TO GET HER BACK AND FORTH TO DIALYSIS TREATMENTS. SHE COULDN'T WEAR THEM BECAUSE SHE SAID THEY WERE TOO BULKY AND SHE FELT LIKE SHE WOULD FALL. I WON'T RETURN THEM BECAUSE I ADMIRE YOUR COMPANY SO MUCH.I bought these for my Mother who is 93 years old. She loves them. The inside is all padded and nice and warm.
