text: Sending these back. Not impressed. There is an elastic band on the inside of each side of the slipper that rubs against your skin. Sort of defeats the purpose of having a comfy wool-like slipper if you are going to sew uncomfortable elastic bands on top of it. I guess if you wore socks it might not be as bad but I want comfortable slippers with or without socks! They also fit a bit big so be a bit wary of the sizing it suggests from the questions it asks.
