I think these will be fine, ultimately. First you may want to know that these are pretty much as advertised. I wish the heels were built up a bit more, but I suspected this would be the case from the picture of the product. The disappointment comes from the fact that the back of the slipper rubs against my upper heel. With socks on, it is fine, and I'm guessing that with time either my heel or the slipper will adjust.

Review of L.B. Evans's Aristocrat Opera - Nice overall. Looks great, but the inner sole pulls out after you wear it for a while. Hard to get it back in place correctly. It needs a shoemaker to repair, I guess?

Poor quality - I am surprised to read all these good reviews. Almost immediately upon wearing, the hard inner 3/4 sole within the nice leather slid forward in the slippers - both of them! This made them impossibly uncomfortable to wear, creating a hard surface cutting into the middle of the heel. They are thusly in great shape, because they cannot be worn! There seems no way to repair this now that L.B. Evans doesn't have its own repair area. I will keep trying to see if repair can be done, they were expensive slippers.

Great slipper - I looked for quite a while on the Internet for an indoor slipper with a leather sole and at least some lift in the heel. This is the one I settled on & so far I am very happy with it. After I ordered it I learned that 3 of my friends have the same slipper. They like it as well. Since it does have a soft leather sole I suspect it will not last as long as some other slippers, but it is very comfortable and very quiet when one walks which is a plus on hardwood floors and marble floors where I often wear these slippers. Actually I bought 2 pair: one I wear with thin socks and I ordered that to my normal shoe size. The other I wear with thick ragg socks and that is a 1/2 size larger than my normal shoe size.

Comfy, but lacks durability - I wear these slippers only in the house, and they touch only soft rugs. Nevertheless, the soles began to show wear after just a couple of weeks. The comfort is worth the wear, so plan a quarterly investment in new pairs!

Most comfortable slippers I have ever owned - I have a narrow foot and it is difficult to find slippers to fit. This pair of slippers is the most comfortable slipper I have ever owned. They fit like a glove.

This is my husband's favorite slipper. His old ones are frayed and frazzled. Have bought several others--he won't wear them. Then I looked on Zappos and this opera slipper came up (didn't know they were called Opera slippers). Bought it. Voila. The same slipper. And in his size 13EEE! He loves them. Thank you.

sized small - I had a pair of these which I loved and ordered an exact second pair. The first pair fit and felt great but the second is quite tight and seems smaller but they're both labeled the same size. I'd exchange them for the next size up but I'm afraid they'd be too big. Same slipper, same size but different fits. Go figure.

Really Wonderful Choice - To avoid dirt, lead and other contaminants, street shoes are not allowed in our home. Thus, quality and comfort are paramount in our house slippers; since we really "live" in them. My husband wears size 11.5, and these fit perfectly. They look great, too. Although they are much too big for me, I tried them on to feel how they fit my arch. The support is excellent. Wild Woman of the Wind, Seattle.

Aristocrat Slipper - I needed a new pair of slippers and decided to give these a try. I wear a size 10.5 and have narrow feet. The first pair at 10.5-B width was so small that I could barely get my foot in them so I decided to try an 11 B. They are a little large, but extremely comfortable. The only issue I have is that if my feet sweat even the slightest amount, the bottom of my foot tends to 'stick' a bit when taking off the slipper.

Perfect house shoe... All leather with good cushioning on the bottom--better than barefoot around the house. A leather bottom not suitable for outside. Fairly well padded, but may not be enough arch support for someone with a really high arch. It fits a bit loose, but for a slipper, isn't that what you want? Slip the foot in without bending, slip the foot out. I have a fairly high arch and it is comfortable for me, however, if you are one of those with a really high arch, it may not be enough. I bought brown, wore them for a couple of weeks and came back and ordered black. We dance ballroom, and if my feet were sore, I could dance in these. Works for me!

Great for Sensitive Feet - I am Diabetic and purchased these shoes for the leather lining, as my feet can be quite sensitive at times. These slippers are THE most comfortable that I have ever owned. I'd recommend these for anyone. They are attractive, and seem to be long lasting.

Men's L.B. Evans slipper - A comfortable slipper in supple leather with classic styling. A handsome shoe. Not recommended for outdoor wear. They fit my size 11M feet perfectly with little room to spare, though I expect they probably will stretch somewhat. If worn with thick socks, then you may want to consider purchasing a half size larger.

Favorite Slipper Ever - I had recently discovered Zappos' great prices and service when I had ordered several pairs of shoes - they sent the ones I thought I would like, as best as I could tell online, and I knew the brand-names so I took a chance. I got the shoes in about two or three days; some fit, some didn't. I kept the ones I liked and sent back the others. Free shipping both ways and an immediate credit back on my Visa card. After this experience, I thought "what the heck" and started looking through the Zappos site for the pair of slippers I had been wearing for years. Mine had holes in them, but they were the only "perfect" pair I had ever worn, and I just couldn't find them again anywhere. Well, I entered the criteria into Zappos search feature - and there they were! My problem was that I never knew what to call them before (opera slippers) but in any case these all leather slippers from L.B. Evans are perfect - warm, lightweight, fit like a glove, and a good enough sole to run outside and get the paper without being stiff. If you're like me, you like your feet to be warm, but don't like all that fluffy sheepskin stuff most slippers are packed with - and those make my feet sweat, anyway. In any case I now have a brand new pair, exactly like the old pair. I got Zappos great service again, and to the best of my memory, these cost me less than my first pair, years ago. You will love these slippers and it will be many (happy) years before you need another pair.
