Order one size up! Cute & cozy slippers
Size: 8-9 Women/7.5-8 Men, Color: Pink Cat, Size: 8-9 Women/7.5-8 Men, Color: Pink Cat
The slippers arrived today ( I got the gray and pink ones) and they are adorable. They fit more like a 7.5 than an 8 or a size slightly smaller than what the usual medium would be so I’d recommend ordering one size up. They’re soft and warm. 10/10 for the designs and colors. The bottoms/ soles are a rubber like material but no complaints there. So far, I’d buy another pair.

Amazing
Size: 7.5-8.5 Women/6-7 Men, Color: Khaki
These slides are so good! First off, the price is insanely good for such great, long lasting slippers! I ordered the khaki color and it was a nice tan color that elevates every look, whether comfy or more casual. These are so comfortable and also flexible but without breaking which is amazing! The material is soft and perfect for everyone.

Walking on Pillows!
Size: 9-10 Women/7.5-8.5 Men, Color: Dark Blue
These slides are like walking on pillows! This is my second pair, and I wish I could wear them everywhere. They are beyond comfortable. They also look nice on your feet. They are well-made, and I know they will last a long time. I have had one pair for over a year.

So comfortable

They're so soft to wear! I needed something to wear when it's hot out. These work great and they feel durable! They also clean up easy if i choose to wear them outside. I bought my daughter a pair as well. I think they fit true to the size. I am a size 7-7 1/2 and ordered 7-8.

Size Up!
Size: 9-10 Women/7.5-8.5 Men, Color: Chocolate, Size: 9-10 Women/7.5-8.5 Men, Color: Chocolate
These are very comfortable! My only issue is that I'm a size 9, so I ordered the womens 9-10 and they are *almost* too small. My heel really wants to come out the back. I know the description says to size up, so you really should lol. They are also narrow, as I have wide feet! I will still wear them, just not if I have to walk too much
