Comfy, cozy, and all too cute. A wonderful bit of adult whimsy.
I bought these on a whim. Since I was a kid, some weird part of me always wanted animal slippers. When I saw these, I couldn't resist. (a) I'm a black cat person. (b) I really wanted something comfy to wear while I sit and watch TV and compute on my laptop, (c) what the heck, I'm old enough to indulge the silly kid in me.I wasn't expecting much, so to say I'm pleased beyond expectations really doesn't do them justice. I was delighted the little black fuzzy faces were as cute and well-made as the picture (for the price, I was worried.) I was happy they fit without being too big or putting pressure on my toes. (Something about the way the padding works makes them conform nicely.) And they aren't too hot, another concern. They're very slightly less heat retaining than my sherling slippers, which is what I wanted. For the purpose I bought them, they're wonderful.That being said, I wouldn't run a marathon in them. In fact, going up and down the basement stairs is a bit of a challenge because the plush really does stick out around the foot, and our steps aren't quite code (older house) so the plush behind the heel is something to be aware of. In fact, there's not really a right or left to them, though the more I wear them the more bias there is, but it's not based on the shape of the sole, simply the padding adjusting to my feet. Even so, they're surprisingly comfortable and stable to walk around in, even with my admittedly choosy feet.The soles are solid and grip our slick floors securely and they feel as if they're not going to warp and throw my foot off-balance any time in the near future, which is pretty good for $20 slippers...and better than the $70 sherling slippers these are replacing.I'd certainly recommend them, and they'd make a great present for a friend with a sense of humor, whimsy and chilly feet!
