Hazel Stretch Knit Driving Loafer Slipper (Women)

I have a lot of issues finding comfortable shoes. I had a childhood foot injury that flares up on occasion with the wrong shoes. I also have back issues, so finding the right shoes can be a challenge. I often have issues with flats like these, particularly with them not having enough support or issues with the back rubbing the skin raw on my heels. I bought a pair of these shoes on a whim when the Navy was on lighting deal. The second I put them on, I was blown away by the comfort. At the time of purchase (a little over a month ago), I had a herniated disk in my back, and the only shoes I could wear comfortably without exacerbating it were a pair of flat sneakers. Much to my delight, these shoes did not aggravate my back; I actually felt relief on my back the more I wore these, contrary to the situation with every other shoe! I packed them for a short work trip, and didn't touch the other shoes I had packed. These were the perfect shoes for walking a trade show, and looking a little nicer for meetings. They have great traction, similar to a sneaker, but the material has so much stretch and give to it that it does not get uncomfortable after hours of walking. I love that the material is machine washable, that's just an added plus! I liked the pair I ordered on a whim so much that I ended up buying two more pairs, one in black and one in red. Interestingly, the red pair was a hair tighter than the black and navy, but after one use, it appeared to stretch out to the same width as the other two pairs. I tend to wear a size 9.5 to 10 in similar shoes. Based on the reviews I ordered these in size 10. They're perfect! Maybe a hair bigger than I need, but after a long day of walking, I don't want skin-tight shoes! I am considering ordering them in two other colors. I really love how good they look with everything (they can be dressed up and down) and they are so so comfortable! HIGHLY recommend these shoes!!
