A little on the flimsy side! These slippers are perfect to wear inside the house. It is plastic and not the most sturdy. Its not as soft as sanuks or clarks but these are the perfect height for me and also really unique. 11-27-17 I pulled them today ! The bottom is a hard rubber sole, perfect for wearing around on slippery floors. Not comfortable as compared. Update: the company reached out to me to make things right following my initial review. They are cute and wider I sing praises that I can wear a nice shoe and I dont have to deal with rubbing areas or sore spots from too tight of width. Heavy duty, nice polished chrome, modern.
