It is very soft and yet doesn’t seem to hold odor like a lot of slippers do. i’ve used plastic ones before and they just don’t last and look crappy over time. I would move my mouth and they would fall out! Would. I know from experience that the vamps of the exact same shoe, manufactured for North American width feet, are always narrower than that exact same shoe purchased from an overseas vendor. They do look and feel a little fragile though. Lifesaver I lost my original case for my Beats. As you can tell from the pic, my kitchen is very condensed and these racks were ideal for the space. It also comes with a stand that plugs into place for a Apple watch (or other wearable device) to safely charge and a slot for a charge box for your wireless ear buds. I had a pair very similar to these years ago and they were so comfortable.
