I won't buy slippers any other way. Zappos delivers quickly. I know this brand well now. The slippers last about six months a pair for me because I wear them exclusively when I'm in the house. I even take them on trips - they're so comfortable. One warning, the fit is right there - not snug, but right there. For example, you can't just step into the shoes. You have to bend over to slice the back of the show over your heel. When your feet perspire, there can be a slight problem with the slipper's lining to fold up into the shoe.

New and Improved! I had a pair of the Operas several years ago and finally had to replace...be careful, the are ALL leather (including the sole) so you can only wear them on carpet or hardwood flooring as the sole will damage easily...they truly are "slippers". They have been improved over the years with more padding to the inside of the sole and are more stable and comfortable that the pair I had before...

I bought these slippers for myself recently. I was concerned that I bought the right size. The package arrived the next day and when I opened it I knew that the quality of the slippers were superior. The care in packaging, the soft and supple leather made my day. Would they fit though? Right away I put them on. My size 10B was a little snug but the leather melted to my foot in a few hours and I am very happy. I will always have L.B. Evans from now on.

This Evans slipper was just as described and extremely comfortable. The description on the web was very good.

At dinner I was telling my Zappos story and I will repeat it again now to share with others. Well over a year ago I ordered a pair of slippers. Upon arrival I checked them for size and color; all was fine. I did not actually try them on until much much later well over a year. They did not fit. In the mean time the price had gone up. I wrote customer service saying I would pay the difference if I could please exchange them. Without any discussion I received a new pair a few days later and an email saying I did not need to pay the difference!! I was expecting having to beg and plead my case. Zappos was excellent in the way I was treated

I ordered this style shoes for my husband, he also owns a brown pair. He loves to wear them because the leather is so soft and comfortable.

Bought these for my husband, who loves them! Comfortable and quiet, so if he is up before me, he doesn't clomp around and wake me up. They will stretch a bit - in other Evans slippers, he is a 13 but here a 12 was fine.

I bought them for my husband; he loves them and finds them very comfortable. They are made from quality leather and I don\'t hesitate recommending them to others. He loved them from the first time he wore them.

I bought these slippers as a present for my husband because it is very difficult to find narrow slippers. He liked the look and feel of the slippers, but found the size 12 a bit short and we now need to order 13 instead. Unfortunately, a 13 narrow is even harder to find and Zappos has none available at this time. The customer service person that I called was very helpful about the return and even put me on an email alert notice so I'll know when the proper size comes in. As long as we can eventually get a size 13 narrow, I will be highly satisfied with Zappos and its return policy.

These L.B. Evans slippers are as comfortable as they look. The fit & support are fine. I continue to buy them.

It's summertime and these sandals look so great with freshly pedicured feet with bright red polish! Great with your summertime wardrobe. Very comfortable but do tend to be a wee noisy when walking as they make the flip-flop sound! Love them with summer dresses, shorts and jeans.

These attractive sandals are an upgrade of the traditional flip-flop. The sole is a sturdy, black, flip-flop rubber material. The sole and straps sport a bright color and glossy sheen. Perfect with neutral capris, for example, they convey a sense of style with little effort. Out of the box they look exactly as expected. I made the mistake, however, of bringing them on a long weekend vacation and taking no other shoes, believing they would be all I'd need. Before I had even boarded the plane, the upper, horizontal band was rubbing and wearing severely into the arch of my right foot. A blister developed, and I could not wear them for the rest of my short vacation. Fortunately, I was able to switch sandals with my daughter (of similar shoe size) for the remainder of the trip, and she had zero problems with them rubbing.
