Better to order one size larger. If I wasnt so determined to get them on I would of stopped on my third try. The picture on the page shows 3 usable positions but there are actually 2. Soles are thick and seemingly resilient, but have not washed slippers yet, as I do with most slippers. The only reason Im giving them 4 stars is due to the fact that one of them came with a broken cap on the end, similar to other reviews Ive seen on here. There is noise interference sometimes in some of the songs and skipping to the next usually stops it but it is very aggravating and ear piercing at times when the songs to play the music and sound are awesome I have ordered several pairs of Chacos Petaluma MJ Trail Hiking Shoe, all in 7 1/2 and for that style my normal size is perfect. That’s just my personal bug-a-boo. Small studio so it is nice to be able to take this inside and outside easily. Disappointing at best.
