These are super cute and fit me quite well, though I do have very high arches, so when I wear them I tend to get a pink mark on the tops of my feet, but no skin breakdown. Got these for my partner who really likes that they are true ?slip ons? ie don?t have an edge around the heel. On the upside, Ill bet they won;t accidently come off easily! I purchased a size 6 and I?m a women?s size 7. Best slippers Ive ever owned. I contacted Allen to see about repair or replacement. Even in a roomy house, this is a great use of space. Im not sure if I would ever consider putting a very heavy wet towel on the stand (near a pool); it doesnt feel as if the arms could hold that kind of weight. I can feel the ground through them so I dont think they are suitable for wearing outside, I also think they might fray after a time if I did. the expensive gaming ones.
