Diabetic Orthopedic Men's Easy Close Wide-Fitting Touch Close Bar-strap Shoe Slipper

At first glance these slippers look like good value. They seemed good on arrival, fitted fine and have been comfortable. BUT, after less than 8 weeks wear they started disintegrating. This photo is at week 12 of use, with the internal cushioning and base having fallen apart, shows that they are simply made poorly and will need replacing within months. Its an OK stop-gap purchase, but you will have to look elsewhere for durability!

Had a few issues in the beginning with size but got there in the end. As always online you can't try them on so hard. But to all that need to know. If your foot is a narrow foot then go for your actual size if you have a wider foot then go for next size up. My husband says they are comfortable and lives the fact that he can control how tight they are around the top of the foot. They don't fall off or slip about as the bottom is solid. Very very good product. Just watch those sizes ;D thank you seller.

I currently have a sudden onset swollen feet medical problem causing me to rapidly run out of comfortable footwear, I reasoned than a larger than usual sized wrapover style of slipper would the ideal solution until the swelling diminished and then I could keep them in reserve in case the problem recurred. Thus these 'DIABETIC ORTHOPAEDIC MENS EASY CLOSE WIDE FITTING' slippers seems on the face of it to tick all the boxes, but alas this was far from the truth. Ordinarily I take a size shoe 12 in H-fitting which does rather limit choice but it is still perfectly possible to find comfortable styles in my admittedly larger than average size. For slippers I generally opt for Marks & Spencer's size 12 standard format style slippers as these fit like a glove and are very comfortable straight from new, but at the moment the swelling meaning that the lack of flexibilty in my currently M&S size 12s meanings that I cannot get them on without cutting the tops and since the medical condition it only temporary this is something that I would rather not do. So, these next size 13 diabetic orthopaedic slippers seemed from the description to entirely fit the bill. Unfortunately however when the sliipers arrived, all was not as described. For starters, these 'wide fitting' size 13s are actually narrower than my current M&S standard format ones and come to that they are also they self same length. At result the velco wrapover piece will not fasten as it has only around a quarter of an inch long leeway. Indeed I suspect that even the size 14s in the style would fit. Hence I have returned my order for a full refund - to include return postage as the slippers were clearly not as described and were thus not suitable for the purpose intended. In view of the size discrepancy, perhaps the product description could carry a warning that potention purchasers to consider ordering something much larger than their usual size?

This is sad. The quality seems good - comfortable, soft. The sole seems robust with a decent tread.Unfortunately after about 2 weeks the velcro on the right slipper just doesn't stick any more, so it keeps coming undone. Fastening them firmly with velcro is the whole point of these slippers, so for the velcro not to work renders them practically useless. (I buy slippers with velcro fastenings because I once had a nasty accident when my slipper slipped off so that I tripped and shattered a bone.)I note that the size of the velcro patch on these slippers is very much smaller than on my previous pair - so it's little wonder that it doesn't stick. The problem would be easily solved with more velcro. I feel the ship has been spoiled for a ha'p'orth of tar.Also, I formed the impression that these slippers are best for people with fat (as opposed to wide) feet. I buy a wide fitting for wide feet, but these slippers are both too short and too roomy around the middle.If the manufacturer could sort out the velcro problem, these slippers would doubtless be great for people with fat feet.

The insole is not comfortable at all... you’ll need a comfy insole to put inside. It’s like standing on the floor for hours without slippers And the insole after one day of using them for the first time ever - started to fall apart. I’ve never stacked it so many times in my house, on the stairs, in the door way of bedrooms. This isn’t for elderly or people with limited mobility. These are just until I get my new real slippers and then chucking them in the bin. Waste of money!

I bought these for an elderly relative. They seemed spot on and comfortable at first and they were very pleased. However, about 6-8 weeks after purchasing the velcro strap on one slipper would not adhere. One side of the velcro has all degraded and it won't properly stick.Now this is a serious problem for someone who is elderly and it becomes a trip hazard wearing a loose slipper with no strap.One thing I noticed was the amount of velcro is very small compared to other more expensive slippers, and so more likely to not adhere as well.Have to say Amazon were brilliant and arranged a return for these.

I purchased these slippers for my father. He suffers from frequently swollen feet so I was concerned that this particular design might prove too tight a fit. However, one week on and they appear to fit comfortably.. As he lives in a care home and all items of clothing must be named visibly, it would really help to have somewhere on each slipper to write the owner's name. The slippers have black soles and black linings so naming them is extremely difficult. But I think this is likely to be a problem with many designs of gents' slippers!

Bought for my partner who is disabled and has quite swollen ankles and feet. We bought a size 10 which is his usual shoe size. They are easy for him to get on and off, they are comfortable and do look quite smart so he is very pleased with them.
