"How I use them: I've had my pair for about a year and I wear them almost daily. I wear them mostly inside and on my cement basement floor, and occasionally outside on my porch & sidewalk. I've washed them (gentle cycle, cold) in my machine a couple times. Fit: They have been very comfortable and supportive. I bought a size smaller than I usually wear, and they fit well without being tight, even though I have wide feet. I walk out of clogs and mules, so the heel coverage is important for me. Durability: After a year of heavy use, a seam has split, causing a hole in the side of one slipper. As everything else is still in great shape I might try to repair it."
