text: Why is it so hard to find slippers??  Was disappointed that these didn't work out b/c they're pretty and not too bulky (most slippers seem to be made for winter and I need house shoes for Texas).  However I'm normally a size 5-5.5 and I bought the size 6.  Way too tight that it was hard to stick your foot far enough in to fit length wise.  My heal was at the very edge.  I exchanged for a size 7.  Still tight!  You have to work to get your foot in which defeats the purpose of being able to easily slip on your slippers.  And the material wasn't all that soft and they squeaked when I walked.  Material is boiled wool so it feels like it sounds; dry and a bit brittle.  I saw some reviewers saying that it stretches over time but I didn't want to wait to have my slippers be comfortable.  My feet aren't wide either and I don't have problems with normal sized shoes.
