I originally purchased these slippers when my heels were hurting my feet after a night out. My friends and I went to Target as a last stop after celebrating at birthday party, and my feet hurt so bad that I bought a pair of slippers to walk around Target and go home in. I left the tags on knowing I'd probably sell them online instead of returning them as I had worn them outside. They were worn once, for one night only. They are very cushiony and soft to walk on. I normally fit a size 10 shoe comfortably, and I can get my feet in the slides easily. They will probably fit a 9 and 1/2 perfectly. Thank you for looking at my listing.
